A review by clairewong
The Leaden Heart by Chris Nickson

mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No
This is a fast read, and an enjoyable mystery (or rather, multiple interwoven mysteries). The historical setting is Victorian-era Leeds and the author's knowledge of the city is evident. I read this in two days flat, largely while on trains to and from Leeds!
