Historia
Thomas De Quincey, infamous for his memoir "Confessions of an English Opium-Eater", is the major suspect in a series of ferocious mass murders identical to ones that terrorized London 43 years earlier. The blueprint for the killings seems to be De Quincey's essay "On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts". Desperate to clear his name but crippled by opium addiction, De Quincey is aided by his devoted daughter, Emily, and a pair of determined Scotland Yard detectives.

When police chief Nathan Slaughter settles in the tiny mountain community of Potter’s Field, Wyoming, his most fervent prayer is that he has left behind him forever the nightmare he barely survived on a blizzardy night in Detroit. But nothing prepares him for the greater sanity-threatening nightmare he is about to confront. Beginning with the discovery of mutilated cattle on outlying ranches, Slaughter is drawn deeper and deeper into a vortex of terror as animals become savage and children go insane, trapping the entire town in a frenzy of violence. As Slaughter races against time to expose the horrifying secret behind the increasingly savage attacks, he also struggles to overcome his deepest fears.

Resumen del Editor
ITW Thriller Award for Best Hardcover Novel, 2016
Legendary thriller writer David Morrell transports listeners to the fogbound streets of London, where a killer plots to assassinate Queen Victoria.
The year is 1855. The Crimean War is raging. The incompetence of British commanders causes the fall of the English government. The empire teeters. Amid this crisis comes opium-eater Thomas De Quincey, one of the most notorious and brilliant personalities of Victorian England. Along with his irrepressible daughter, Emily, and their Scotland Yard companions, Ryan and Becker, De Quincey finds himself confronted by an adversary who threatens the heart of the nation.
This killer targets members of the upper echelons of British society, leaving with each corpse the name of someone who previously attempted to kill Queen Victoria. The evidence indicates that the ultimate victim will be Victoria herself.
Reseñas de la Crítica
2016 ITW Thriller Award for Best Hardcover Novel, Runner-up.
"Everything [Morrell] writes has a you-are-there quality, and that, combined with his ability to propel characters through a scene, makes reading him like attending a private screening." (Washington Post Book World)

Historia
Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius who uses the gift of deduction and reason to solve the most vexing of crimes. Warlock Holmes, however, is an idiot. A good man, perhaps; a font of arcane power, certainly. But he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag. The only things he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart flatmate. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety...

A surprisingly good story
The mystery is engaging but slow. The picture of Victorian England and how the police operates is. Thomas De Quincey is a Sherlock Holmes type of detective. Holmes imbibes his drugs in private. De Quincey is a retched, junkie-talent, author. His talent and resignation/acceptance of his addiction infuriates members of “society”. He satiates his addiction by “eating” Opium or drinking his landrum in public completing totally disregarding society’s sensibilities and morals.
De Quincey is not as physical athletic as Holmes. His diminutive is stature and tattered clothing engenders a dismissive attitude from others. That is a strong visual to reinforce his place in society. De Quincey has amazing deductive abilities which functions despite his drug induced haze. His opinions are first dismissed as the ramblings of a drug addict. After a few intelligent insights his detractors usually come around. De Quincey’s daughter, Emily, acts as his nurse. She intelligent, liberated and acts as his conscience
The plot is driven around the British aristocratic hierarchical separations of people. The bigotry based on working verses inherited wealth or titled family verses titles acquired from the queen, facilitates the British upper echelons being victims. You are not with the murder while he is committing the crime. There are only a couple of actions scenes or rather running and chase.
What is amazing? The ability of people to remember the particular details from events from 20 years ago.

Haunting and Fascinating Crime in Victorian London
This is the second book (the first being "Murder as a Fine Art") in which Thomas De Quincey, his daughter Emily, and detectives Ryan and Becker work together to solve an intriguing string of brutal murders set in 1850s London. De Quincey was a very real person whose "Confessions of an Opium Eater" was mentioned in my high school English class when discussing Coleridge. I never realized he coined the term "subconscious" decades before Freud.
The point of view goes back and forth between the third person and Emily's first person journal. This book has a depth and poignancy that surprised me.The ending was especially satisfying.
I hope Mr. Morrell writes more books with these people/characters. I bought the Kindle version so I could savor the writing and more easily search for passages that were particularly memorable. Be sure to listen to the author's Afterword to appreciate all the research and historical detail that went into the writing of this book.

Good, but not as good as Murder as a Fine Art
This story is good, but honestly a lot of this book is a repeat from Murder as a Fine Art. This book does continue with the story of Thomas De Quincey and his daughter Emily.
This is a good book and probably would have been even better had I not listened to it immediately following Murder as a Fine Art.
Don't pass this up if you've listened to the first book, just wait a few months between listening to the first and second books.

Murder, War, Politics, and The Opium Eater
The second book in the trilogy of the historical Thomas and Emily De Quincey mysteries finds the two still in London residing at Lord Palmerston’s home, though grudgingly so. Also living there temporarily are Scotland Yard detectives, Ryan and Becker, recuperating from injuries sustained previously. As the four attend services in St. James Church, in Lord Palmerston’s private pew, no less, they witness a heinous murder in an adjacent pew. The year is 1855. The Crimean War is raging, and the English government has fallen. The British aristocracy is uneasy. Set against threats of additional murders, following the one in St. James, and an underlying secret that goes unspoken, Thomas and Emily De Quincey aid Ryan and Becker in trying to determine who will be attacked next. They are invited into the inner sanctum of Queen Victoria and King Albert, much to the dismay of Lord Palmerston. The political intrigue of the time is thick, with King Albert being of German descent, there is mistrust afoot. The queen’s life had been threatened some eleven years earlier, and the new murders seem to be connected to those attacks, as well to the political unrest. And the lines between the aristocracy and the people are more clearly drawn than ever. The experience of the Opium Eater and his daughter become critical in the solving of the murders, as they escalate . . . Ryan and Becker both secretly harbor affections for Emily, Thomas De Quincey’s daughter, who has her hands full caring for her father and his addiction. Full of historical detail, rich descriptions of cobblestone, fog filled streets and Victorian ideas which are at times surprising, Inspector of the Dead is an excellent addition to the trilogy. I gain more and more respect for Emily De Quincey, in her bloomer skirts and her aspirations of becoming a nurse. Great listen!

Book 2 and I already started #3. Loved it.
Any additional comments?
This is book 2 in the series and it was very engaging, characters are building, and relationships are growing. The narration is fantastic, very talented, Mr. Wolf makes each character his own person. wonderful. It's not very often I'm suprised about the "Who done it" in a book or story. Well I was, and the twist at the end was good too. The year is 1855. The Crimean War is raging. The incompetence of British commanders causes the fall of the English government. The empire teeters. Amid this crisis comes opium-eater Thomas De Quincey, one of the most notorious and brilliant personalities of Victorian England. Along with his irrepressible daughter, Emily, and their Scotland Yard companions, Ryan and Becker, De Quincey finds himself confronted by an adversary who threatens the heart of the nation.This killer targets members of the upper echelons of British society, leaving with each corpse the name of someone who previously attempted to kill Queen Victoria. The evidence indicates that the ultimate victim will be Victoria herself

Historical accuracy, one dimensional characters.
The author took great pains to achieve historical accuracy (he pompously describes his efforts in the afterword), unfortunately, character development suffers. I was hoping the characters would be fleshed out in the second book, but they remained one dimensional. I knew exactly how each character would react in every situation. I began to experience tedium and boredom after the first hour. I did finish the book, but I won't read or listen to a subsequent book. This book might be enjoyed by a reader who favors fiction heavy with historical detail.
