Edoardo Ballerini
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 18th-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 and 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...and when the Masker claims a new victim, hardworking young law clerk Matthew Corbett 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.

Give Me More Matthew Corbett!

The book was entertaining and the mystery is superbly developed and resolved. The reader did a very good job with the different characters' voices.
I liked this book so much I bought the next one (and plan to buy the others in the series too).
Highly recommended.
Note: If you are someone who is still sad that Caleb Carr did not write a third book in the Alienist series, you will get a bit of a fix listening to this book and its sequels. Has some of the same feel and humor present in the Alienist.
A really enjoyable listen

The narration is fantastic. I’d let this guy read me a book anytime.
5 stars for The Queen of Bedlam and looking forward to the next in the Matthew Corbett series.

I also found that Matthew seemed to be a lot more full of himself in this volume, treating people who are his elders and superiors with a total lack of deference at times.
That being said, I think the mystery all tied together well in the end and I found the climax to be both unexpected and poignant.
I love the series so far for the historical detail, some of which is quite gritty, and for the ingenuity of the plots and subplots. Not to mention the fact that Edoardo Ballerini may be the best narrator ever.
I'm planning on using my credits next month towards the next two in the series.
Not as great as Speaks the Nightbird

We watch and experience Matthew's growth in a new town; how he fares with his personality of never giving up until the last question is answered and justice is served, at least to his own satisfaction. That trait, of course, continues to cause him problems with the entrenched powers, but also lands him a new job with the Herald (sp?) Agency as a "finder of lost things", as it is put to him.
As I mentioned, the pace is a little slow, though such writing does suit that time in early Colonial history. It is a book well worth listening to, as the narrator does an excellent job of characterizations, bringing the characters alive along with their personalities.
Little Slow in Pacing, but a Great Series Gateway
