montyreads: The Vesuvius Club by Mark Gatiss


I finished reading this a while ago, and I'm really lazy so I haven't posted a review until now.
This was the perfect book for what I needed. Having just finished my honours year and had been stuck in academia for the last 5 years, it was time for some perfectly silly fluff. Gatiss' novel is an adventure full of murder, intrigue, debauchery and cross-dressing. Ridiculous and rather hilarious, it was great fun reading it. The Vesuvius Club leaves room for many more adventures for the main character Lucifer Box, who is rather like a deviant Sherlock Holmes with a talent for seducing pretty young things, whether they be male or female. I'm looking forward to reading future Lucifer Box adventures.

Only a short review this time, mainly because I finished reading it a while ago and can't remember too many of the details.

How lazy am I!
