The Fallen Architect by Charles Belfoure is set in the early 1900s in England and has what I would call an old-fashioned writing style, it is very smooth and easy to read. The author includes lots of descriptive information about architecture, the social classes in historical England, their dialect, along with the early theater in England with its unique entertainers, or artistes as they are called in the book. Maybe it is historical fiction with a criminal element, along with a scary and mysterious plot. Even though, after something bad happened to him and the main character was building a new life for himself and show resilience, I kept wondering how everything was going to be resolved and if truly the main character was innocent. I liked the writing style and that I was learning things I knew nothing about and now I would like to find more books by this author.
