The Meaning of Night

I guess since I read so many books I should post a little about the ones I really enjoyed. I just finished The Meaning of Night by Micheal Cox. It's a great book, but it is thick and starts very slow, I had to fight through the first 250 pages. However, it was worth the fight. Although every main character does at least one thing so horrific that I would never want to associate with any of them, I found myself engrossed in the story and rooting for a cold blooded killer. In this Victorian England world love is eternal, revenge is essential and death is the meaning of night. I recommend giving it a try.
