Paris in the 1890's is beautifully portrayed, the morgue as a fashionable entertainment, the absinthe addictions, the photography of the dead. But this is a very slow moving plot, there are 3 first person narrators and the reader knows they'll come together eventually but it drags on and on.

This book was a compelling thriller that kept my attention throughout. I liked getting different character's voices such as the killer, the police and one of the victims.
