THE STREETS OF BABYLON by Carina Burman Translated by Sarah Death










Take a Swedish literature scholar ( who also happens to be a very talented novelist), toss in a Victorian era mystery in London, add in a fictional narcissistic mystery writer by the name of Euthanasia Bondeson, and some sleuthing through such places as a “molly house” for cross dressing gentlemen of 1851 during the Great Exhibition…

Well…

You have the makings of an absolutely delightful who done it.

The Streets of Babylon: A London Mystery is the first book of a trilogy. I certainly look forward to reading the rest of this series.

And just a post note for those of you weary of translations… this book was seamless. If I had not been told, I would not have been aware that this work was translated from Swedish to English.

ENJOY!
