A review by chukg
The Man from the Diogenes Club by Kim Newman

4.0

Good book, a collection of previously published stories with a long glossary (which is partly UK slang and partly terms/people of particular interest to the stories) and an afterword describing how the stories came about. I am a fan of Newman's Anno Dracula books and this has a lot of the same sensibilities, but it's mostly short episodic adventures. A lot of it almost feels like if the Lord Darcy stories happened in the swinging 70s. It seemed a bit long though, if I was reading it again I'd do one story at a time. There is a continuity between them all (and some characters from some of his other books), but it's not like a long novel.
