The Victoria Vanishes

The way the city’s past feels intertwined with the mystery made me wonder how much of London’s history influences the narrative. Did the setting feel alive to others?

The historical angle added a layer of depth, but I’m curious whether this was driven by the author’s fascination or a specific story he wanted to tell through that period.

The buildup was intriguing, but some parts felt like they dragged. Was this deliberate to build suspense, or could it have been tightened?
