Tom's review of The Queen of Bedlam
The Queen of Bedlam by Robert R. McCammon
Having just finished this 6oo+ page epic, I am craving more. Maybe, just maybe, we'll get another adventure of Matthew Corbett as this book leads into a what will be a new chapter for him. After first meeting him in the epic "Speaks the Nightbird", we are now seeing where his story takes him currently....1700's NYC. And with swift prose, MacCammon paints a vivid picture of life in the early beginnings of the New city. But even more vivdly, he creates characters that come alive off the page. The coroner, the printmaster, the many constables, the 'doves, and many more. Even though these were all supporting cast, i felt like I was told their story as well. The story itself plays out perfectly right before your eyes. The main story is the murders,but it's all the subplots that lead to an even bigger plot that encompasses them all that really had me going here. Overall, a great read by one of the best.
