The somnambulist

I can't believe it's taken me over a decade to read Essie Fox's debut, The Somnambulist, but better late than never because what a debut it was.
As someone who reads more crime fiction than is probably good for them, this was a slight departure from the norm for me, but it was worth it.
The Somnambulist is a dark, twisty Victorian Gothic tale of secrets and lies, and the consequences that arise from them. Some of it makes for uncomfortable reading, but anyone familiar with my reviews will know I like my books dark. It appears I like Victorian Gothic too.
