Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Queen of Bedlam (Matthew Corbett #2)

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.

Write-Up Based On Books The Queen of Bedlam (Matthew Corbett #2)

Very happy I started this series reading book number one. I was already invested in the fate of Matthew Corbett, so I was better able to consume (though not entirely digest) a surfeit of what seemed unnecessarily detailed background of most of the population of 5,000 souls in the New York of early 1700's. McCammon has populated the environs with a mostly colorful group of characters. When last we left Matthew we assumed he would be looking for and finding work as a magistrate's clerk in this new

This book was very different from the first in the series. Granted, the main character, Matthew is a few years older and lives as an adult, but the trials he gets into are of a different nature. This book is more action -based, where the first was more contemplative. The first addressed questions of ethics, morality, and philosophy. The second doesn't do this so much, so there is less character-building in that sense. However, the plot is equally (maybe more so) intricate and calls on Corbett's

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

Great book!Some authors are able to pump out 1, or even 2 or 3 books a year and still stay entertaining enough to stay on the band wagon (Say King and Salvatore). Others take time but are worth the wait. While McCammon's earlier career mirrored the first scenario, he really slowed down after publishing a fairly fast string of horror/suspense novels in the mid 80s and early 90s (Swan Song and The Wolf's Hour are probably my two favorites. I'd love to pick up a copy of The Wolf's Hour one of these

McCammon!! You make me want to smack my Grandma into a coma! In all forms of the word, you are badass! Once again, masterfully, you delivered another story of epic proportions. This one was a breath of fresh air, as I usually read multiple books at once, this one was paired with Stephen Kings, Cell. The horrendousness of that book only made this one all the better! So as it is, The Queen of Bedlam lies in her personal asylum, drifting alone in her mental prison. But were she to speak from the

It's now 1702, three years after young Matthew Corbett solved the mystery of the first novel. He's now 23 years old and clerking for a magistrate in New York, still a burgeoning little town of only a few thousand residents travelling mostly dirt roads. Matthew soon finds himself embroiled in a new mystery - and possibly facing a different future than the one he'd always envisioned for himself - when a couple of prominent men are found murdered in similar fashion.While I like the setting of the
