The Harvest Man by Alex Grecian
5.0
For those unfamiliar with this series, we are transported back in time to 1890, London. Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad has their hands full; Jack the Ripper may have disappeared into thin air, but the dawn of the random serial killer has now arrived.
There are three investigative subplots occurring in The Harvest Man: the search for the Harvest Man, an unofficial search for Jack the Ripper, and a mystery of several Ripper-like murders which have turned up. The latter two plots flow in and out nicely around the hunt for the Harvest Man.
The Murder Squad series features a terrific cast of regular characters. Detective Inspector Walter Day is our main character, the center of this large cast. While the mysteries are the great piece of the books, the personal lives of the characters play just as an important role.
Mr. Grecian had a terrific buildup going throughout the novel. The ending was fantastic – but it just leaves you wanting more. When does the next book come out?
