Personally, I could not get thru this book. As much as I loved The Alienist, I absolutely abhorred this book. If you want a great read by Caleb Carr, read The Alienist. Don't bother with this one.

Gutwrenching and real. Almost too much suspense and tension for me. Afraid of the ending.

I think that you would like this book if you enjoy historical fiction (particularly about turn of the century NYC) and psychology. I don't think it was as suspenseful early on as The Alienist was, but it keeps you wanting to know more. And the characters were just as charming the second time around.

A suspensful historical mystery set in 1897 New York. The story centers on a serial killer and on the kidnapping of a baby daughter of a Spanish diplomat. An absorbing read!

The Alienist, by Caleb Carr was a fantastic book. While not quite the caliber of his other novel, this was a good, well-paced read.
