I don't write reviews of genre novels generally, partly because I don't read many of them, mostly because it doesn't seem to be a worthwhile exercise. After all, I don't write spoilers, which leaves a very short review of how well the author met the requirements of the genre as I understand them. Lyndsay Faye's The Gods of Gotham , a historical detective novel, falls outside the usual genre expectations for a murder mystery. At one point, I realized that it reminded me of Caleb Carr's The Alienist , and that's a very good thing in my book. The narrator, Timothy Wilde, is a smart, likable character with a distinct voice and unique vocabulary -- he speaks "flash," the argot of the criminal classes and gangs in mid-nineteenth century. The setting, events, and characters of The Gods of Gotham's feel authentic (for the most part), something which takes a "dab hand" to create. Faye clearly cares about the history and the people as much or more than the mystery, although I enjoyed tagging along as Timothy unraveled the case (I'd mostly figured it out, but I wasn't entirely correct about the final explanation, which was complex). The "gods" in the title refers to the political, religious, and social upheaval in New York following the mass immigration of the Irish during the Great Potato Famine. Faye prefaces each chapter with quotes from actual historical documents, primarily one aimed at warning "nativists" about the danger of "popery." Although in the past year I did learn more on my own efforts about that contentious era (PBS has a wonderful series titled "God in America" which traces the influence of religion on the formation of American society and government), The Gods of Gotham distills the same history into a delightful story. I would very much like to continue following this thread, both through fiction and non fiction.(less)
