The Yard by Alex Grecian Book Summary

As Jack the Ripper’s reign of terror in London comes to an end, a new era of depravity sets the stage for the first gripping mystery featuring the detectives of Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad.

“If Charles Dickens isn’t somewhere clapping his hands for this one, Wilkie Collins surely is.”—The New York Times Book Review 

Victorian London—a violent cesspool of squalid sin. The twelve detectives of Scotland Yard’s Murder Squad are expected to solve the thousands of crimes committed in the city each month. Formed after the Metropolitan Police’s spectacular failure in capturing Jack the Ripper, they suffer the brunt of public contempt. But no one can anticipate the brutal murder of one of their own...  

A Scotland Yard Inspector has been found stuffed in a black steamer trunk at Euston Square Station, his eyes and mouth sewn shut. When Walter Day, the squad’s new hire, is assigned to the case, he finds a strange ally in Dr. Bernard Kingsley, the Yard’s first forensic pathologist. Their grim conclusion: this was not just a random, bizarre murder but in all probability, the first of twelve.

The squad itself it being targeted and the devious killer shows no signs of stopping. But Inspector Day has one more surprise, something even more shocking than the crimes: the murderer’s motive.

The Yard. Very good read. I really got into the characters, the were well fleshed out, and I was really routed for them to succeed. I would be interested in reading other books from the same author.

The Yard. Good storyline, very rwell-written,great history, very interesting. My only problem was that the glory details seem to be a bit overdone and sometimes unnecessary. Other than The Yard was a great read.... for anyone who doesn't have a weak stomach.

Fantastic!!!. Great book!!!

The Yard. A well written story designed to bring the reader into the world of early London. The author has done an excellent job of character development and structural integration. This book has mystery, history, structure and flow. All elements needed for an enjoyable read. I highly recommend it.

A great read... This is the first of Mr Grecian’s novels which I’ve had the liberty to read and I was impressed. I can’t wait to continue this series and be intrigued yet again.

Well Done!. Upon recommendation, I began to read, & found that once I knew the characters, I became so attached to them and their stories, that I couldn't stop reading. I cannot wait for a sequel. Well done.

Great Read. I enjoyed this book immensely. I've always been fascinated with Victorian London, starting when I read Oliver Twist at the age of eleven. Good descriptions of how people lived in that day, but people are still the same. There are people with good hearts, no matter what their station in life. This book isn't just about murder, but about characters that are very likable. I've heard that this may continue as a series. If so, I can't wait until the next novel.

The Yard. Great read. Wonderful characters. Interesting background. Sorry when i finished the book.

The yard. If you like Historical Fiction, a good detective story, or just want to be entertained, you will love this book. I am an avid reader, and have never written a review, but I felt I had to for this novel. I look forward to read more from this author

The Yard. Uplifting story about London detectives solving horrific crimes for Scotland Yard. The characters are well developed, for the most part, and the plot is gripping, it kept me interested throughout. The ending is a little trite and neat, but you'll cheer for these guys thwarting evil. A good read, overall.

The Yard is a decent yarn.. While occasionally contrived this is an engaging mystery with decent characters and a mostly inventive plot. The plot runs out if steam in the final act and the ending feels too pat. However, the primary characters of Day, Kingsley, and Hammersmith made for an entertaining read. Some good historical tidbits, some great dialogue, some moments of intense horror, a little humor, and well-crafted suspense. My only real caveat is in the premise of the book. The Yard takes place a year after the unsolved Jack the Ripper murders, which has shaken all of London and Scotland Yard in particular; unfortunately this setting tends to diminish the evil doings of the cop-killer at the heart of this story. The deeds of the real-life Ripper are far more horrifying than the fictional crimes displayed in this book. The Ripper murders cast a long shadow.

The Yard. This is a wonderfully written book filled with interesting characters who are woven into an excellent plot. It is a delightful read and a unique history of early forensic science. Though today is July 3, it's not too late to add "The Yard" to your Summer reading list!
