Felt that the language and atmosphere worked really well in developing a sense of place, of a murky victorian london which is still commonplace to its occupants. Also it had a suitably large cast of possible subjects, who were all recognisable from one another, which a lot of recent mysteries I've read haven't had. Didn't realise until afterwards, but it is book 4 of a series, and I would be interested in reading the rest, although I think I've been given a lot of spoilers from reading this one first.
