New book:
The Strange Affair of Spring-Hilled Jack by Mark Hodder
It is listed as HF (5th genre out of 5) I consider it Alt Historical Fic, I am not giving it HF points. It has a Sir Richard Francis Burton, who does not become an Ambassador, like he did in real life, also, events that should have happened in 1864 happen in 1861.
