The Pleasures of Men
Spitalfields, 1840.
Catherine Sorgeiul lives with her Uncle in a rambling house in London's East End. She has few companions and little to occupy the days beyond her own colourful imagination. But then a murderer strikes, ripping open the chests of young girls and stuffing hair into their mouths to resemble a beak, leading the press to christen him The Man of Crows. And as Catherine hungrily devours the news, she finds she can channel the voices of the dead ... and comes to believe she will eventually channel The Man of Crows himself.
But the murders continue to panic the city and Catherine gradually realizes she is snared in a deadly trap, where nothing is as it first appears ... and lurking behind the lies Catherine has been told are secrets more deadly and devastating than anything her imagination can conjure.
With an elegant style and thrilling plot, The Pleasures of Men reveals the dark, beating heart of corrupt London during Queen Victoria's reign.

I only found out about this one the other day, but it sounds like a pretty good read! It sounds like a wonderful, fictional account of the gritty realities of Victorian London, and of the things that the most twisted of people are capable of.
The Victorian era, despite its corruption is also one I'm really interested in, so as a Historical Thriller, it sounds like an amazing read! I'll be looking forward to getting a copy very soon!
