This was a fascinating blend of historical fiction and horror, set in the gritty, haunting streets of Victorian London. The authors do an exceptional job of weaving together the lives of people from various social classes, offering a layered and realistic portrayal of the time period. It’s clear this book was thoroughly researched—the setting felt immersive, vivid, and authentic.
While the historical detail was a major highlight, the story itself took a while to find its footing. The beginning felt a bit slow and certain parts dragged more than I would’ve liked, but once the pacing picked up, I was drawn into the eerie and atmospheric narrative.
I listened to the audiobook and thought the performances were well done. The narrators brought distinct voices to the characters and really helped bring the mood of the story to life.
If you're a fan of gothic horror or dark, atmospheric historical fiction, The Butcher’s Daughter is definitely worth checking out—just be patient with the slower start.
