A review by littletaiko
The Gods of Gotham by Lyndsay Faye

4.0

The setup of this book sounded right up my alley - the formation of the police department in New York City? Yes, I'd love to read a mystery set around that time period. It did get off to a slow start as initially there is a bit of back and forth in time with the narrator. Plus, it was confusing to have him hate his brother so much without knowing why. Fortunately, the book settles down and everything slowly becomes clear. It was a pretty gripping mystery that had me turning the pages even though I was fairly sure I new who the guilty party was.
