Except the Dying by Maureen Jennings

I love Murdoch Mysteries and to read the books that inspired the show is something that I've been meaning to do for a while. This first instalment introduces us to William Murdoch and his quirkiness as a detective. Whilst it was a good mystery to try and solve, the number of secondary characters linked to the crime sometimes made it a bit confusing to follow and I lost track with them all. Nonetheless I still really enjoyed it and her glimpse into Victorian Toronto has me more intrigued into the social lives and lexicon of the people at that time.
