A reviewer
When I first picked up this book I wasn't too sure of what to think about it. It was a sequel in a way that I wasn't sure a sequel should ever be, it being written by a completely different author and all, but that suspicion was torn away with the first paragraph. I fell in love with the book and could not put it down. It never dulled me and it seemed to gain new life with every incident(and there are many incidents). Each characters has a place and they are nowhere near boring. I highly suggest that anyone who hasn't pick up this book right now.

Dickens meets Andrew Vachss
Which you would understand, if you ever read either Mr. Dickens OR Mr. Vachss. In any event, if you read no other part of this enjoyable Christmas mystery/read, take in pages 297-303, for what may be the most profound and moving exploration into the ethos that composes the father and son relationship that ever I have read or heard.

I loved this book!
I had to stop myself from gobbling this book up. It has to be savoured like a good wine or better chocolate. It's Dickens with blackened teeth. It was moving, gross and funny; real and a little scary. A good tale of the Victorian class system and its underbelly.

Definitely enjoyed the twist...
I truly enjoyed the twist to a Dickens character... who would have guessed it could be so interesting. I hope he continues with the characters. I think the characters of Philomela and Colin could enhance the life of Tim Cratchit. I plan to read other books by this author. I found myself wanting to go back and re-read Dickens classics for the viewpoint of child labor (so inhumane and unfair to society, but was tolerated during that era).

A wonderful read
The writing style, originality, character development make this one for my bookcase. Keeping in mind that my preference leans toward the historical fiction, I find Bayard, as a whole, is able to immerse me into a time beyond "Hollywood," bringing in the grit and filth of daily life with ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

If you're a fan of this genre, I think you'll find yourself quickly consuming all his works. My only regret is the lack of books. -
