August 29th, 2010 - It's 1881 and Londoners are dying by the hundreds. Are the large flocks of owls seen overhead the harbingers of more deaths to come? What about the snake oil salesman hawking his wares? Jason Dark and his sidekick, Siu Lu, set out to investigate. This is the sixth Jason Dark volume I've read. Each time I come away thinking they would make a great television series - Dead by Dawn is no exception. Henkel is particularly adept at immersing the reader in the scene. His books are moody and atmospheric, evoking times long past. I also like that each volume can be read as a standalone, yet Jason Dark and Siu Lin's relationship continues to evolve through the series. Highly recommended.
