Publisher's summary

Mr. Royston is driving his hansom through the night-time streets of Melbourne when he is hailed by a man supporting a slumped, intoxicated figure and requesting that the cabman take the unfortunate fellow home - before proceeding to drop his burden and make a rapid exit.

Bundling the drunken man onto the seat, the cabman is startled by the reappearance of the good Samaritan, who joins his acquaintance inside - but jumps out before the end of the journey. And when Royston, receiving no response to his inquiries about directions, peers into the cab, he finds that his passenger is now a corpse....

Interesting

The story was interesting. I rarely read stories based in Australia so it was interesting to read one now. The mystery behind the murder in the Hansom Cab was what drew me in. First the identity of the victim and then finding out the reason behind his death. The identity of the murder shocked me because I thought it was one person and it turned out that I was incorrect but despite that I enjoyed seeing the secrets be revealed throughout the book.
