This book instantly has you putting puzzle pieces together once the investigation starts。 There was a tendency for the two main characters to over-explain every clue to make sure the reader picked up on it。 The conclusion of this book ended quickly。 The storyline was put together okay。 If you like the Victorian murder mystery, you will like this book。 I would like to see how the others in the series come together。 I got the audiobook and I wondered if I would make it through as the narration was This book instantly has you putting puzzle pieces together once the investigation starts。 There was a tendency for the two main characters to over-explain every clue to make sure the reader picked up on it。 The conclusion of this book ended quickly。 The storyline was put together okay。 If you like the Victorian murder mystery, you will like this book。 I would like to see how the others in the series come together。 I got the audiobook and I wondered if I would make it through as the narration was a little, dramatic but I got used to it, or it got better。Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an e-arc of this book。 Opinions are my own and the review is voluntary。CW, rape, violence against women, violence against pregnant people, drug use。 。。。more

Excellent series starterI thoroughly enjoyed this new novel by Ms。 Shapiro, as much as I've enjoyed her Redmond and Haze novels。 She does an excellent job of weaving a captivating mystery and developing interesting, realistic, and flawed human - and humane - characters。 I am very much looking forward to more Tate and Bell books。 Excellent series starterI thoroughly enjoyed this new novel by Ms。 Shapiro, as much as I've enjoyed her Redmond and Haze novels。 She does an excellent job of weaving a captivating mystery and developing interesting, realistic, and flawed human - and humane - characters。 I am very much looking forward to more Tate and Bell books。 。。。more

I enjoyed this SO much! I love a historical mystery and it’s been ages since one has captured my attention as well as this did。 Can’t wait for the next instalment in the series (hoping there is one)

Another great mystery from IRINA SHAPIRO。Like her other series involving Redmond and Haze, this first book in her new series brings together Sebastian Bell, a detective with an addiction, and a former Nightingale nurse miss Gemma Tate。The murder of an aristocrats daughter, and the brother of the nurse brings the two together to solve the mystery behind the killings。 It also sparks an interest in each other that has some promise。 I’ve read the Redmond and Haze series, and this one is just as intr Another great mystery from IRINA SHAPIRO。Like her other series involving Redmond and Haze, this first book in her new series brings together Sebastian Bell, a detective with an addiction, and a former Nightingale nurse miss Gemma Tate。The murder of an aristocrats daughter, and the brother of the nurse brings the two together to solve the mystery behind the killings。 It also sparks an interest in each other that has some promise。 I’ve read the Redmond and Haze series, and this one is just as intriguing and well written。 Although this story takes place a few years before Redmond and Haze meet, I love how the author connects the two series by briefly introducing Haze as a young constable and someone who assisted detective Bell on a previous case。As with the prior series, it doesn’t matter whether we know “who done it “ but Tate and Bell figure it out through fact finding detective work。 I am looking forward to the second book involving Tate and Bell as well as the next in the Redmond and Haze series。 。。。more

This is out now, so if you are looking for a grittier Victorian era mystery, be sure to grab this one! 。。。more

This is such a great historical mystery novel! The right amount of suspense, intrigue, gruesomeness and historical setting。 I instantly liked Inspector Bell (a flawed character with morals and brains) and Gemma Tate (a strong woman who doesn't allow cultural restrictions to keep her in 'her place' but is also vulnerable)。 I loved everything about this book (but would've liked more set in Highgate Cemetery as its one of my favourite places!)。 This is such a great historical mystery novel!

Oh how I enjoyed listening to this intricate, well-written historical mystery in dark Victorian London, where crimes were left unsolved because of understaffed police and friends and family in high places。The story had enough twists, turns and clues to keep me interested and involved。 Imogen Church did a perfect job in narrating the book and I enjoyed even more in the story。Highly recommend it。Thank you to Storm Publishing and Dreamscape Select for allowing me to listen to The Highgate Cemetery Oh how I enjoyed listening to this intricate, well-written historical mystery in dark Victorian London, where crimes were left unsolved because of understaffed police and friends and family in high places。The story had enough twists, turns and clues to keep me interested and involved。 Imogen Church did a perfect job in narrating the book and I enjoyed even more in the story。Highly recommend it。Thank you to Storm Publishing and Dreamscape Select for allowing me to listen to The Highgate Cemetery Murder (Tate and Bell Mystery #1) through #Netgalley。 。。。more

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review。 This was a great historical mystery novel。 The gruesome murders in this book were wild and I really enjoyed the characters of Tate and Bell。 I look forward to more novels with them as investigators as they worked well together。 I loved the time period in which the book took place too as it really added a lot to the book。

This was an eerie Victorian murder mystery。When I first started reading, it seemed the style was different from what I'd usually expect when reading a historical mystery, but I think that was just a first impression。 This book had intriguing characters that the author brought to life in a simple, uncomplicated way。 There was some gruesome imagery related to the murders, but not in excess。 I really liked Sebastian and Gemma as characters, and I would be interested to know if they might be feature This was an eerie Victorian murder mystery。When I first started reading, it seemed the style was different from what I'd usually expect when reading a historical mystery, but I think that was just a first impression。 This book had intriguing characters that the author brought to life in a simple, uncomplicated way。 There was some gruesome imagery related to the murders, but not in excess。 I really liked Sebastian and Gemma as characters, and I would be interested to know if they might be featured in anymore books in the future。 I would probably read something else by this author。Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review。 。。。more

Unimaginable。A young journalist, Victor Tate, walks to a cemetery to put flowers on his wife's grave。 Once there, to his horror, he sees a beautiful young girl hanging, tied to a cross。 He's shocked and hysterical but does report the crime to a constable and gives a quick description of the man he saw in the cemetery。 Before he makes it to work, he is tragically killed。 Was it an accident or murder? Detective Sebastian Bell is assigned the “Hanging Angel” case。 Nobody really cared about the girl Unimaginable。A young journalist, Victor Tate, walks to a cemetery to put flowers on his wife's grave。 Once there, to his horror, he sees a beautiful young girl hanging, tied to a cross。 He's shocked and hysterical but does report the crime to a constable and gives a quick description of the man he saw in the cemetery。 Before he makes it to work, he is tragically killed。 Was it an accident or murder? Detective Sebastian Bell is assigned the “Hanging Angel” case。 Nobody really cared about the girl's extremely brutal and vicious murder until it's discovered that she's not a prostitute, as previously thought, but is the daughter of a rich and powerful man。 Sebastian believes that he was assigned the case because his superintendent wants to get rid of him。 Ever since the murder of his wife, he's been spiraling out of control…too much opium and alcohol。 Gemma Tate has just lost her brother when he's run down in the street。 She reads his last entry in his notebook that says since he found the dead woman in the cemetery, he's sure he's being followed。 Gemma believes that he was murdered and she begs Sebastian to let her help。 Together, they work to dig out clues that will lead to the brutal murders of the Hanging Angel and Victor Tate。 They discover that in the past few years, similar crimes had previously been reported, but the victims were scoffed at and shoved aside because the women were either shop workers or prostitutes and they don't matter。 All of the brutal attacks took place on All Hallows Eve and seemed to be ritualistic。 Nineteenth-century England (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) is an extremely dark place and time for women。 If you're born into a well-to-do family, you're sold to the highest bidder in marriage。 When you're poor, life is minute-to-minute。 If you have a job, it's not secure; you could be out on the streets with no one to turn to。 If you don’t have a job, prostitution is a last resort。 Ultimately, women are considered some man's property and have few choices in their lives。 If you have no man to take care of you, society looks at you like there's something immoral about you。 Yet one young prostitute, who was brutally attacked and tried to report the crime without success, was given a coin and a kind smile by a stranger who felt sorry for her。 She says that she hasn't lost hope because there's still kindness in the world。 Unimaginable。 I love the Redmond and Haze mysteries, and I think this will quickly become a favorite, too。 It takes place before Redmond and Haze meet, but some names will be familiar to those who've read that series。 。。。more

Really wish there was a different audiobook narrator--I've listened to one of Imogen Church's audiobooks before and didn't care for her overly exaggerated performance, and I couldn't listen to more than literally 5 seconds of the preview for this one before hastily stopping it。But anyway, perhaps a regular read sometime。 Looks like it's on Kindle Unlimited atm。 Really wish there was a different audiobook narrator--I've listened to one of Imogen Church's audiobooks before and didn't care for her overly exaggerated performance, and I couldn't listen to more than literally 5 seconds of the preview for this one before hastily stopping it。But anyway, perhaps a regular read sometime。 Looks like it's on Kindle Unlimited atm。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book! Sebastian Bell was a kind of character I don't read about much。 I also really enjoyed the relationship that formed between him and Gemma Tate without it being a primary force in the novel itself。 I read a lot of thrillers, but it's hard for me to find mysteries that I find enthralling enough to want to keep up with。 This was one!

(hide spoiler)]) Gemma and Sebastian don’t meet until we cross the first third of the book。 However, that is a natural progression of the plot。 Of course, it’s clear that Gemma has a good brain and uses it。 She is also someone who can put people in place and stand firm despite her grief。 Given the setting and the period, the case is mainly handled by Sebastian。 I did expect this。 However, halfway through, the book feels more like the MMCs while the FMC becomes a side character。 If the series is named Tate and Bell, the Tate lady has to have an equal role! Moreover, the chemistry between the two is non-existent at this point。 That’s okay since both have different immediate concerns。 But there seems to be a slight progress that happened off-page and is casually mentioned in a line。 That can be an issue if the trend continues。 There’s a lead for the next book, so I will read it and then decide。 I like the easy writing style, so despite the hard topics, the book doesn’t feel overwhelming。To summarize, The Highgate Cemetery Murder is an intriguing mystery and a decent series starter。 I had greater expectations and felt the book could be better。 Thank you, NetGalley and Storm Publishing, for] the eARC。 This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book。 #NetGalley #TheHighgateCemeteryMurder***TW: (view spoiler)[Gang rape, drug abuse, death, grief, mourning, addiction, mention of suicide, murder of a pregnant woman and her unborn baby。 (hide spoiler)] 。。。more
