Alasdair Muckersie's Reviews > Big Bona Ogles, Boy!

Michael Gallagher is a marvellous writer and storyteller. This, the third in his Octavius Guy series, is so enjoyable: witty, warm, full of wonderful descriptions, dialogue and characters. Doesn't sound like a murder mystery? It certainly is. Set in Victorian London, it has an excellent plot which zips along at great pace and with great verve, enveloping us in its authentic atmosphere. Octavius - along with his sidekick, George - comes up trumps once again!
