The cover got my hooked, you can clearly see from the cover the story is set in the past with murder and mystery. The description of the book, as it is set in Elizabethan time, will make the story very visual to readers, I can just picture London in sepia colours (the cover may be adding to the effect) horses and carriages, women in great big dresses, men with top hats and poor boys lying dead in alley ways and no one knowing how they got there. It also makes it sound like it could be a bit of supernatural murder, with all the strange marks on the boys that are murdered. A real twist of a story that I am trying to figure out even now. So far from what I can see I would definitely recommend it.
