In a steam and electric London that is being hounded by a serial killer where T.Aaron Payton brings clockwork prostitutes and cruel diseases that change the sex of the infected. This book is not only funny but gripping.

If you haven't read steampunk before this might be one you want to start with.

This book has some raving reviews, and it's for a good reason, you need not be an into the genre to be into The Constantine Affliction. It's one of those gems that have a little of everything, comedy, murder and even touching on transgender rights. Everything has a story and a reason. I find it hard to pin down my favourite, but it has to be Freddy by far. She jumps off the page and into your heart with her sour comedy and quick wit. I didn't connect with the journalist E.Skye, I usually love the bold female characters, but she just felt unestablished compared to Pimm and Freddy. 

Payton's describes this dangerous world where fires rage for lifetimes and mad scientists bring the dead to life in such detail. You can envision the world that he wants you to. 

It has 4 out of 5 stars on most sites and that what I would agree with. It's a poor excuse for a steampunk but that what makes it so good for first-timers and just about anyone that likes a book that takes a walk on the wild side. 

Audiobook
You'll find this audiobook on Amazon and iTunes (although how an Audible only book got on iTunes is a wonder). I liked John Lee's voice. Not only is his view very commanding and stable, but he also brings the characters to life. It's one of Audible' better exclusives. 


Anthony Horowitz is known for his murder mysteries from the beloved detective Sherlock Holmes, but this Atticus Pünd book will take you on a ride you never will forget. When Editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway’s latest novel, it is to be his final novel of the series. But killing off Atticus Pünd might be more of a debacle than Alan Conway ever counted on.


This best-seller will have you whipped off your seat with these twists and turns. An old styled murder mystery that has not one but two murders. I never saw the twists coming, and that made this book so enjoyable. If it weren't already on the bestsellers list, it would be a find like no other.

My View:
I love this book, and I think it will always have a place in my heart. As one of those lovers of old-fashioned books, I have to admit that this will be hard to beat. The only thing I would say and I feel this is because the setting there weren't any exciting characters. I didn't feel drawn to anyone; it was all the mystery and the not a lot of background. Then again, it is written to be his final book, and it gives that impression from the name and the way it is written. He has thought of everything to bring you closer to that experience of an authentic murder mystery series.

Audiobook:
To be honest, I didn't think much of the audiobook's content. I thought Susan was well-voiced, but it's hard because the book is meant to be read and not listened to.
I'd rank this book in my ever favourites if I had to star. It'd be five out of five and four out of five for the audiobook.
