No current Talk conversations about this book.  Harks | Dec 17, 2022 |  3 and a half stars - have actually read a few of these and enjoyed them but I think this first one can stand in for the series. Enjoyed the artwork and the wit and references/homages that I noticed (I'm sure there were many more that passed me by) and reading it during the farce of the Brexit negotiations gives it extra emphasis, given that it was written in 2009 and covers events just after Britain won independance from France!

"Two hundred years ago, Britain lost the Napoleonic War and fell under the thumb of French domination. Gaining independence after decades of civil disobedience and anarchist bombings, the Socialist Republic of Britain is now a small, unimportant backwater connected by a railway bridge, steam-powered dirigible, and mutual suspicion to France. When a British diplomat's murder is made to look like suicide, ferocious Detective-Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard stalks a ruthless murder squad through the heart of a Belle Epoque Paris, the center of the greatest empire in a world of steam-driven hansom cabs, automatons, and flying machines. LeBrock's relentless quest can lead only to death, truth . . . or war" -- from publisher's web site. No library descriptions found. |

I don’t remember how this got on my radar in the first place, but it was great fun. I’ll be on the lookout for more Inspector Lebrock books. (
