A interesting read and a nice departure from the current set of crime novels. Smoke filled cafes and opulent opera houses are frequented by the upper classes who are unaware of the secret underground worlds lying beneath their feet. The multilayered plot unfolds at a luxurious pace. We meet a multitude of characters throughout the book including a cameo by the infamous Dr Freud. Told with great attention to detail, the book is loaded with tidbits of information perfect for your next dinner party. My favourites were discovering there were established rules for duelling and mouth watering descriptions of Viennese pastries. A cake may be just a cake but Tallis certainly leaves you wanting another piece.
In the grip of a Siberian winter in 1902, a serial killer in Vienna embarks upon a bizarre campaign of murder. Vicious mutilation, a penchant for arcane symbols, and a seemingly random choice of victim are his most distinctive peculiarities. Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt summons a young disciple of Freud - his friend Dr. Max Liebermann - to assist him with the case.
