Murder As a Fine Art

Murder As a Fine Art is the first historical thriller written by David Morrell (author of Rambo) in the Thomas De Quincey series. This book takes place in London in 1854 where a copycat killer starts methodically and brutally murdering people as some true murders from 1811 Thomas De Quincy described in a book he wrote. De Quincey, his daughter, Emily, Detective Inspector Ryan and Constable Becker set out to find who is committing these murders and stop them.

This book seems to start out slow, describing some of the incidents from 1811, but the author soon draws the reader in to this story. It is interesting how he wrote it using both third person and first person narratives. The author did a good job of researching Victorian England and London and more specifically in 1854 so he could write it as if he wrote it back then. There is plenty of action and very absorbing.
