Scotland Yard's Walter Day is assigned to find the Harvest Man, a killer who cuts off the faces of his male and female victims while they are still alive. No longer officially assisted by his former sergeant Nevil Hammersmith and still handicapped by an earlier injury, Day attempts to find the Harvest Man, unaware he's in danger from the Ripper. To compound his peril further is a threat against his wife and newborn twin daughters. Reader John Curless does a satisfactory rendering of the characters, though his Jack the Ripper voice is soft enough to require adjusting the volume.
VERDICT This book is as laden with gory details as the other books in the series—not for the squeamish. However, fans of the earlier works (The Devil's Workshop) are sure to want to follow the story. ["Best for mystery fans who appreciate heroes in peril, gory autopsy details, and Victorian London": LJ 4/1/15 review of the Putnam hc.]
