Vices of My Blood
Vices of My Blood | Maureen Jennings
2 posts | 5 read
The compelling new novel by Canadas answer to Anne Perry. In his forties, the Reverend Charles Howard still cut an impressive figure. A married Presbyterian minister in Torontos east end, Howard was popular with the congregation that elected him, especially with the ladies, and most particularly with Miss Sarah Dignam. Respected in the community, Howard, as Visitor for the House of Industry, sat in judgment on the poor, assessing their applications for the workhouse. But now Howard is dead, stabbed and brutally beaten by someone he invited into his office. His watch and boots are missing. Has some poor beggar he turned down taken his vengeance? Murdochs investigation takes him into the arcane Victorian world of queer plungers men who fake injury all the better to beg and the destitute who had nowhere left to turn when they knocked on the Reverend Howards door.

Spending this snowy day running errands while my son and husband have a “boys day” at home! Stopping for a late lunch before heading back 🙂
