Why read it?

1 author picked A Knife in the Fog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved the creativity and intensity of this mystery, which features Margaret Harness and Arthur Conan Doyle. 

I was captivated by the setting of London, UK, in 1888–the time of the Whitechapel murders (Jack the Ripper). Harper brings fascinating characters to life and paints a vivid scene of abject poverty. 

I was enthralled by this piece of historical fiction and loved Harper’s ingenuity in casting Arthur Conan Doyle as a detective, much like his creation, Sherlock Holmes.
