The story is set in 1879 at the address of no 4 ,Euston Square , Bloomsbury , London . The home is owned by Severin and Mary Bastendorff , a German family who renting part of their home out . They have one maid , a Hannah Dobbs . What starts of as a story about the residents of a house soon takes a darker turn when a body is found in the coal cellar.
I found this story completely intriguing , the time the story is set in and the secrets and lies of the residents makes it very hard to guess what’s going to happen next . I read this entirely in one sitting as I was eager to know who the deceased person was and why on earth they were found dead there . The story has plenty of twists and turns and makes for an eerie read made even more interesting is the the new CID police procedures for crime scenes and deaths at that time . Gripping and a must read for all fans of this time in history . Very atmospheric!
I received this book for review from Netgalley for review . This book is being published October 30th and will then be available from all good bookstores.
