Walking in Pimlico - A comic clog dancer witnesses a brutal killing in a dark and dingy London backstreet in Victorian Britain as his show closes for the night. When he finds out that he is not the only one who witnessed the murder, they soon realise that the killer knows who they are and here begins an escape to pastures (well, stage shows) new with the killer always one step behind. Even though this is a murder mystery book, there isn’t actually much mystery to it at all as we find out who the killer is within the first 50 pages and they go on to narrate parts of the book themselves. That said, it does have it’s share of intrigue and it’s a whole load of fun to follow them the lenghth and bredth od the the country as they get more and more paranoid, constantly looking over their shoulders.
Dark, dingy, funny, recommended.
