One of NatalieH’s most anticipated books of the year is A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett, which has shades of Sherlock Holmes and Pacific Rim. “However, Bennett weaves together these seemingly discordant inspirations into something that’s completely unique and very entertaining.” Have you read any of Bennett’s fantasy mysteries?
