Notes From Your Bookseller

Although set nearly 200 years apart, Robert J. Lloyd’s debut novel, The Bloodless Boy, would sit nicely on your bookshelf next to Caleb Carr’s The Alienist. Keep in mind, during the English Restoration, forensic medicine hadn’t yet been pioneered. Which is to say, when the clues are deeply hidden, it takes a clever writer to present them. The Bloodless Boy is deep in atmosphere, mystery and sense of place. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be impressed.
