His epic masterwork, Speaks the Nightbird, a tour de force of witch hunt terror in a colonial town, was hailed by Sandra Brown as "deeply satisfying...told with matchless insight into the human soul." Now, Robert McCammon brings the hero of that spellbinding novel, Matthew Corbett, to eighteenth-century New York, where a killer wields a bloody and terrifying power over a bustling city carving out its identity -- and over Matthew's own uncertain destiny.The unsolved murder of a respected doctor has sent ripples of fear throughout a city teeming with life, noise, and commerce. Who snuffed out the good man's life with the slash of a blade on a midnight street? The local printmaster has labeled the fiend "the Masker," adding fuel to a volatile mystery...while young law clerk Matthew Corbett has other obsessions in mind. Earnest and hardworking, Matthew spends his precious spare time attempting to vindicate the abuses he witnessed growing up in the Sainted John Home for Boys, at the hands of its monstrous headmaster. But Matthew's true calling lies not in avenging the past but salvaging the future -- for when the Masker claims a new victim, Matthew is lured into a maze of forensic clues and heart-pounding investigation that will both test his natural penchant for detection and inflame his hunger for justice. In the strangest twist of all, the key to unmasking the Masker may await in an asylum where the Queen of Bedlam reigns -- and only a man of Matthew's reason and empathy can unlock her secrets. From the seaport to Wall Street, from society mansions to gutters glimmering with blood spilled by a deviant, Matthew's quest will tauntingly reveal the answers he seeks -- and the chilling truths he cannot escape.

Piece Epithetical Books The Queen of Bedlam (Matthew Corbett #2)

Review of the audiobook narrated by Edoardo Ballerini.Another great cast of colorful characters in a dark and gritty turn of the 18th century setting. I love the way that McCammon writes these books, with well fleshed out characters and a real sense of the time they are based in. The colonial period doesn't seem get enough attention from fiction writers.I do have to say that I found this book to be a step down from the first book in the series. Whereas Speaks the Nightbird had a distinctly

Reread June 2019In this town of soon to be more than five thousand persons there was a governor who wore a dress, a reverend who loved a prostitute, a printmaster who could crack walnuts on his forehead, a high constable who had killed a boy, a magistrate who was once a tennis champion, a laundress who collected secrets, and a coroner who collected bones. There was a barber who owned a squirrel named Sassafras, a tailor who could identify a dead man from a suits watch pocket, and a black

Although The Queen of Bedlam is the 2nd book in the terrific Matthew Corbett series, this is the novel where the series truly kicks off! The first one, Speaks the Nightbird is a great book, but might have possibly been written as a stand-alone novel and can be read that way. But not only is this the tale that really introduces Matthew and his world the way we know it now, but this is where author McCammon also ratchets up the excitement and doesn't let up all the way through the latest

All right, I know this book, being awesome, needs a review an'all. Only I'm so awfully lazy, I just can't be arsed. You should read it because it's terrific...and that ending, wow! That's all. You have a good one and stay safe.

Holy amazing characters, Batman. Corbett is no longer an aide, no longer someone's assistant, he is now his own man living in New York (a city of almost 5000 people!?!?), and by the end of this he is heading his own investigations. This was a spectacular read, I liked the setting of the first book more so than this, but it barely took away from my overall enjoyment. Hours would go by with scenes unfolding in my head and McCammon's writing is so cinematic, I would forget I was reading. Of course

McCammon is simply amazing. The man takes a decade off from writing in the prime years of his life when many authors hit their stride. You'd think when he came back there would be some rust he'd have to knock off the wheels. Nah, he comes out of the gate with a fury and a vengeance and the first slab of goodness he throws on the table is Speaks the Nightbird. Speaks is so unique in that it provides us with such a wonderful story and characters in a setting that isn't typically done by the
