I wasn't planning to read this novel.
As per my heading, I had no plans to read this novel.  Why! Not my time era.  Simple as that.  But, since I have read Mr. Southworth Spartucas series and my all time favorite Wrath Of The Furies, I would at least try a sample reading of The Reaper's Breath.  I was pleasantly surprise in the first few chapters that The Reaper's Breath was going to be as good if not better than Wrath Of The Furies.  The man (Mr. Southworth) has an outstanding talent in writing mysteries.  Love, love the book.
You really can get emotionally involve with the William, main character.  Even had a tear in my eye in a couple instances.  Keep up the great work Mr. Southworth.  I'm a big fan of your writings.
An ok Victorian crime drama
SPOILER ALERT.  The book itself was ok . I gave it four stars as it did keep you guessing as to who the killer was up to the end. However I was disappointed as this will be the first of many books as the the theme of this book is that there was not one Ripper but at least nine.This franchise will probably give the Rocky franchise a run for its money. I for one am not looking forward to the future books in the series as one was more than enough for me. I will go back to reading my Sherlock Holmes tales for Victorian crime dramas.
Worth the read
A very enjoy story. Keeps you guessing the entire time. It would be a treat if there was a sequel at some point.
Robert's Work Never Disappoints.
I became a fan of Robert's writing through his Spartacus series. I was excited to find out that his new book The Reaper's Breath was just as intruging and addictive as those. It was hard to put down. I can say emphatically this a must read. Looking forward to book two of the series.
