Book description
To find the answers, the meek and hapless sergeant must step out of the inspector's shadow. Aided by Octavia Hillingdon, a steely and resourceful journalist, Bliss will uncover truths that test his deepest beliefs. Hypnotic and twisty, Paraic O'Donnell's The Naming of the Birds will ensnare you until the final pages and leave you questioning what matters most--solving a case or serving justice.ReviewO'Donnell writes a sequel to the Victorian London-set The House on Vesper Sands. Sergeant Gideon Bliss has now worked with Inspector Henry Cutter for 13 months, and he can see that Cutter's upset after receiving a note; instead of his usual outbursts, he has become silent and withdrawn. Regardless, Bliss and Cutter begin looking into a series of murders of retired civil servants, all of whom have been killed in unusual, gruesome ways. Cutter seems to have a scattershot way of investigating, sending Bliss to search archives and records going back 20 years, even as the killer they are seeking claims new victims. Their journalist ally, Octavia Hillingdon, deploys her own research skills to discover a key monument and a fire at an orphanage. Cutter, Bliss, and Hillingdon are followed as they investigate, and shadowy government departments try to interfere. Despite violence and danger, Cutter is determined to find answers, although identifying the killer might not lead to justice.--Lesa Holstine he dynamic latest entry in O'Donnell's gothic Victorian series featuring Scotland Yard Inspector Henry Cutter and Sgt. Gideon Bliss (after The House on Vesper Sands) finds the duo perplexed by a particularly macabre murder scene. After receiving word of Sir Aneurin Considine's death, Cutter and Bliss arrive at his home to find not one but two bodies, Considine's and his servant's, and the bones of a child clutched in Considine's hand. The pair seek help from journalist Octavia Hillingdon, a skillful investigator whose research leads her to conclude that the murders are connected to a decades-old fire that killed 36 children at an asylum. The body count rises with another murder, of a civil servant, and again a child's bones are found at the crime scene. Soon, Bliss and Cutter discover evidence of abuse at the asylum and consider the possibility that the killer may be a survivor out for revenge. O'Donnell's expert pacing never falters as he explores what makes his characters tick, including Cutter's regret over letting a murderer go free years earlier and Bliss's decision to hide his orphan roots. Along the way, the narrative also delves into the motivation behind murder and questions of morality when it comes to avenging abusers. Series fans will be captivated.--Library JournalAbout the AuthorParaic O'Donnell is the author of The House on Vesper Sands and The Maker of Swans. He lives in Wicklow, Ireland, with his wife and two children, and can usually be found in the garden.
