Description
The third atmospheric mystery from the author of the Richard and the Judy Book Club choice, The House on Half Moon Street.
'Exceptional – you hear and smell and taste Victorian London' Sarah Hilary
The headlines scream warnings about the Butcher of Berner Street! and the journalist behind them – Leo Stanhope – is secretly thrilled to see the effect his words are having.
Leo is used to covering more mundane issues, but when an anonymous letter summons him to a club in East London, only for the owner of the club to be found murdered shortly afterwards, Leo sees a story worth pursuing. Not to mention an opportunity to make a name for himself.
Yet the more Leo digs, the stranger the story becomes, taking him from the club to a nearby convent, and into the past of a very unusual woman. But he is not the only one hunting for a killer. And it seems Leo’s newspaper reports may have put someone else in grave danger…
The Butcher of Berner Street is a brilliantly atmospheric, characterful Victorian mystery, perfect for fans of Antonia Hodgson, Abir Mukherjee and Andrew Taylor.
