Mayhem | 
so-soPinborough uses the real life Thames Torso Murders for her story, but gives it a supernatural spin.
I did not find this ‘wholly absorbing‘ as the blurb indicates. It wasn‘t boring, but it never grabbed me and I don‘t think I will pick up the second book. This is the third book I have read recently sit in 1800s England basically and that might have impacted my feelings on this one, but I don‘t think so.

I‘m trying to wrap-up the tagged book today. Then I need to take a break from the mid to late 1800s in England as this is the third book set in that place and period I have read recently. I‘m feeling a little saturated, lol.
pickWhitechapel. Victorian England. Chasing Jack the Ripper....what about these things is there not to love. Well, I got all of the above and a bit more. In Mayhem, we get a tale spun around a different set of murders happening in London at the same time that the Ripper is active. The Thames Torso Murders - Pinborough‘s story telling mix‘s history and the supernatural to give you a fast pace and wonderful read. This book was well worth my time.
After being so disappointed in my last read I decided that maybe getting back to my comfort zone would be best. So I dusted off Mayhem. It‘s been on my shelves for about 8 months or so....
First reaction: THIS IS GOOD. I hope the author keeps up the pace and tension throughout. I‘m only three chapters in but I like it. #books #murder #london
GUYS!!! *screaming* OMG THAT COVER!!! ITS OUT ON OCTOBER 26th!!!!
bailedI‘m calling it. 68% done with this and I just have no motivation to continue with it. I started this back in October and haven‘t touched it since then. I think the pacing overall was too slow to keep me interested coupled with the fact that...nothing was really happening...231 pages in and I was just waiting for something...anything...Shame because it has a pretty cover. Oh well, onto the next!
As much as I love Fall/Winter, the darkness so early is really putting a damper on my reading time. What do I do now while I wait for my physical therapy appt? 🙄😪
That‘s it. I‘ve officially had it. If anyone needs me I‘ll be locked in my room reading about murder with the music turned up.
Symphonic/Heavy Metal and Jack the Ripper-esque murders go well together right? 🙄
Is it weird that I try to read my books in the order I acquired them because to not do so is unfair to the other books? #mybookcase

I really want to read...but I can‘t disturb the cat!
so-soIf Victorian thrillers are your thing, you‘ll probably enjoy this. I get bored with the stereotypical characters. #litsyatoz #p
