I'm currently reading THE BLACK COUNTRY by Alex Grecian. This is 2nd of 2 in series featuring The Murder Squad, Scotland Yard, in 1890s London. Here is a description:
The British Midlands. It’s called the “Black Country” for a reason. Bad things happen there. When members of a prominent family disappear from a coal-mining village—and a human eyeball is discovered in a bird’s nest—the local constable sends for help from Scotland Yard’s new Murder Squad. Fresh off the grisly 1889 murders of The Yard, Inspector Walter Day and Sergeant Nevil Hammersmith respond, but they have no idea what they’re about to get into. The villagers have intense, intertwined histories. Everybody bears a secret. Superstitions abound. And the village itself is slowly sinking into the mines beneath it. Not even the arrival of forensics pioneer Dr. Bernard Kingsley seems to help. In fact, the more the three of them investigate, the more they realize they may never be allowed to leave. . . .
It was published May 2013 and has 400 pages. This is from the library.
Twas a perfect, lovely, dark rainy day. WASTED at work.
Much love,
