This is the sequel to The Alienist that Lisa recommended to me and I've enjoyed both books. This one was darker to me, not because it was any gorier, but because it dealt with moms who kill. Set in the late 1800s New York City, Stevie the street boy is the voice behind this story. This was when they first started exploring mental illness, insanity and such in criminals, especially serial killers. If you like a well-plotted mystery that is dark and disturbing, you will want to read both of these books.
