It's been at least 15 years since I've abandoned a book, but I just crested page 185, and am bailing.I was attracted to the book because I enjoy Sherlock Holmes, and spinoffs from that literary franchise, so expected to enjoy a novel set in the early days of Scotland Yard. I am interested in the boo...
"Nobody noticed when Inspector Christian Little of Scotland Yard disappeared, and nobody was looking for him when he was found." I was hooked from the start of The Yard. Alex Grecian did a good job of keeping the plot moving by jumping from perspective to perspective. I loved the addition of the...
The performance on the audio version of this book is great, and if I was grading that, it would be an easy five stars. However, the book itself feels longer than it has to be. And quite frankly, while I enjoyed the writing, I got really annoyed with the pretty women being the good ones, and the ug...

I really enjoyed this book. It's set roughly a year after the last of the Jack the Ripper murders and those murders have an affect on everyone. The citizenry no longer trusts (or respects) the police because they no longer believe they can keep them safe. It's an interesting aspect I hadn't thought ...
I needed something light and maybe a touch frivolous that would keep my attention and got just that from The Yard.The characters are interesting and likeable and the multiple mysteries intertwine satisfyingly but don't offer much in the way of suspense. The setting of the Scotland Yard murder squad ...
I have to say with the premise of this book, I think I expected more eerieness from it. Although I liked the book, I didn't love it. It was told in a day by day diary that almost had the feeling of being dragged on. It ended up taking me alot longer to read this book than it normally would have beca...
