An interesting take on historical fiction. Edgar Allen Poe and P.T. Barnum join to solve a murder. (They really did know each other!)Written in a Poe-esque style. A bit hard to get into, but fun after you get the style. Lovely vocabulary and writing style. I will look for more of this author's books.

This was a fun fast moving read with the premise that PT Barnum and Edgar Allan Poe join forces. Great sentence structure and vocabulary.
