What this book is about
New Fiddleham, 1892. Abigail Rook becomes assistant to R.F. Jackaby, a detective with supernatural sight in a city full of things that are very definitely not human. Their first case involves a serial killer who might not be human at all. Ritter's Victorian paranormal mystery is witty, atmospheric, and genuinely fun.
