The book tells the story of living in London - in mid- Victorian times- with a murder in the background. It touches all aspects of live in the world biggest city of that time with 2.5 millions of citizens. We learn where people lived and work, how they dressed, washed and eat. We meet poor and middle-class Londoners. It's fascinating to read about how they travelled around the city, about their illnesses and what they read. Amazing book and very well written. Highly recommended for all history lovers.
