The Gods of Gotham A Novel

Rezension

"The Gods of Gotham is a wonderful book. Lyndsay Faye's command of historical detail is remarkable, and her knowlege of human character even more so. I bought into this world in the opening pages and never once had the desire to leave. It's a great read!" Michael Connelly

"The launch of a brilliant new mystery series, set in 1845 New York City: Irish Potato Famine, the birth of the police force, brothels and bedlam."-- Gillian Flynn

"It's been almost twenty years since Caleb Carr's bestselling Olde New York crime novel, The Alienist, was published, and I cant count the number of times since then that someone has asked me if I can recommend a suspense story anything 'like it.' Well, New York has inspired lots of terrific thrillers, but I've just stumbled on one of the worthiest successors yet. Lyndsay Faye's novel, The Gods of Gotham." Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air

If your concept of paradise is popping in a DVD of Gangs of New York while rereading Caleb Carr s The Alienist, then put Lyndsay Faye's The Gods of Gotham on your to-buy list. USA Today

There s enough excitement here to cause anyone s veins to quiver. The Washington Post
