A Death at the Dionysus Club by Amy Griswold, Melissa Scott
5.0
I simply loved this one. The story itself was thrilling, with nail-biting moments (that desperate run through the fog!) and so filled with mostly despicable victims that you need to remind yourself that, no, eating human parts it's not the adequated way of dealing with things.
The relationship between Julian and Ned is... complicated. There are so many unsaid things, and so much in their past that it's affecting their present. And the times don't help, either. But, somehow, they make it work and manage to trust each other not only with their bodies (that was the easy part) but with their heart too.
But what I truly enjoyed here is how some secondary characters are taking a more definite shape. Miss Frost is sharp as a whip, resourceful, strong-willed and firmly set in her own goals, and I love her... and her friend, Miss Barton? Well, as she's going to work with Hatton as police matron I think we'll see more of her.
And talking of Hatton... I like him, too. He is down-to-earth, sensible and intelligent, his work his motivating force. A truly decent man, in the real sense of the word.
Even Oppenshaw is likeable: stern but curious, severe but compassionate. Yeah, I like him.
So, yes, this certainly made to my favourites list =D
