![]() ![]() The mission is almost certainly doomed: Merrick and his friend Clem must fetch quinine from within the depths of Peru, and everyone else who’s made the attempt has died. The Bedlam Stacks is about former smuggler Merrick Tremayne, who gets pulled in for One Last Job after months trying to recover from an injury that almost lost him his leg. ![]() ![]() The Bedlam Stacks briefly features Keita Mori (the eponymous Watchmaker of Filigree Street), but apart from that the two books are not really related. They are really not whimsical at all, so if - like me - you have been avoiding them for that reason, do not do so! But actually, the word I’d use for both that book and her sophomore novel, The Bedlam Stacks, is melancholy. So a funny thing about Natasha Pulley is that I resisted reading The Watchmaker of Filigree Street for ages, as the cover and premise sounded much more whimsical than I thought I’d be into. This has not influenced the content of my review. Note: I received a copy of The Bedlam Stacks from the publisher for review consideration. ![]()
