London, 1920. There's a killer on the streets of Camden Town, and no woman is safe.
When a woman's body is dragged from the Regent's Canal on a freezing January night, eminent forensic pathologist and criminal sleuth Dr Bernard Spilsbury immediately detects foul play. And when a second woman washes up dead under similar circumstances, police realise they are looking for a dangerous predator. Is someone luring lonely spinsters to their deaths through a newspaper Lonely Hearts column? And can they be stopped before they strike again? With time against them, there's only one thing the police can do...

Really liked this!
I love these kinds of old mysteries, but I am always a bit wary when I see that they are written by modern authors. Here, all is perfectly as it shall be. Married women are refered to as Mrs, and no modern words, profanity or phrases are used.
Now, the story. Its a very well written murder mystery. Huge mansion, bodies in river, lonely hearts club, old newspapers, a young widow, a sleuthing doctor, and a severed leg found in a bin. Likeable characters, fleshed out, with no annoying back stories. I figured out the killer the second (s)he was introduced, but that is just because I have read so many of these kinds of books.
Dr.Spilsbury was a God in his days, no one could go against him. Time has shown that he was just a flawed human being, like every one else. However, in this book, he is at the start of his career, and I can very well believe this is how he was.
