After a devastating fire a group of children are rehoused in a remote, secretive and abusive facility. Some time later, Inspector Cutter and (almost) Sergeant Bliss are working a very unusual case which seems to be related. Fans of gothic suspense and historical fiction might enjoy it.

This is the sequel to The House on Vesper Sands and It was just as good if not better. We are still following Inspector Cutter and Sergeant Bliss along with Octavia. In this book they are trying to solve the murders of prominent people that were involved in deaths of children in an asylum in 1872. The Naming of the Birds by Paraic O’Donnell. 4.5 stars

I enjoyed this book. It was perfect for the spooky season. It was a dark and twisted gothic read that I enjoyed very much. I thought the author did an amazing job through characters and story line. I look forward to reading more from O'Donnell. I will definitely be recommending this book to others.
Thank you Net Galley ARC

This was a very strange read. It was gothic and dark and some parts did not make sense. I think the writing was decent but the story itself was just weird and felt like it had no point. Not my type of book

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for an honest review!!
