Book Log 2006 #45: The Great Stink by Clare Clark
It's a story of murder and madness in the sewer system of Victorian London, as a respectable yet troubled Crimean War vet and a member of the city's lower classes have their lives intersect just enough to send both into surprising directions.
While I liked the book, I think it could have benefitted from being a little leaner. I found it hard to get engaged, and when I did it was never a full engagement. It may not be the best book to try to read during the commute.
