Waiting on Wednesday - June 11th

Waiting on Wednesday is a feature hosted by Breaking the Spine.

This week, I'm not.so.patiently.waiting for:

GoodReads Says: London, 1892: James Norbury, a shy would-be poet newly down from Oxford, finds lodging with a charming young aristocrat. Through this new friendship, he is introduced to the drawing-rooms of high society, and finds love in an unexpected quarter. Then, suddenly, he vanishes without a trace. Unnerved, his sister, Charlotte, sets out from their crumbling country estate determined to find him. In the sinister, labyrinthine city that greets her, she uncovers a secret world at the margins populated by unforgettable characters: a female rope walker turned vigilante, a street urchin with a deadly secret, and the chilling “Doctor Knife.” But the answer to her brother’s disappearance ultimately lies within the doors of one of the country’s preeminent and mysterious institutions: The Aegolius Club, whose members include the most ambitious, and most dangerous, men in England.

It's 544pgs, released June 17, 2014 (!!!!) and sounds like the perfect book to sink my teeth into on my upcoming flight and road trip.

  1. We mainly review romance and YA on our blog but we all enjoy losing ourselves in a good mystery or literary novel. This one looks wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing! I have added it to my TBR list.
