Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders by Gyles Brandreth (John Murray, £7.99)
In 1889 Oscar Wilde finds the mutilated corpse of a young boy in a candlelit room of a London back street. With his friend Arthur Conan Doyle, he returns to the scene to discover the corpse has vanished. Scotland Yard has no interest in a murder without a body so Wilde sets about unravelling the mystery. As other bizarre murders are uncovered, the plot speeds to an exciting climax. Brandreth presents Oscar Wilde as a flamboyant character and the London of his time is richly atmospheric. Very entertaining.
