The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder

3.0

The debut novel of the Burton & Swinburne series is an interesting science fiction take on what might happen to the world if one small thing was changed. Although I wouldn't necessarily call the death of Queen Victoria a small thing.
I often steer clear of fiction that utilises history as a plot point but in this regard, I enjoyed seeing what was changed and what, in a way, stayed the same despite the alterations.
The Strange Affair of Spring-Heeled Jack is a well-done debut novel; I look forward to finding and reading the rest of the series.
