A dazzling Dickensian thriller set in a Victorian underworld inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It's the Christmas season, and Tiny Tim is now grown up. No longer the pious child the world thought he was, he has just buried his father and is struggling to shed his financial ties to his benevolent 'Uncle' Ebenezer by losing himself in London's dark underbelly. He spends his nights dredging the Thames for dead bodies and the treasures contained in their pockets. One day he comes across a girl's body, branded with a mysterious 'G'. Then he finds another girl with a similar brand - but she is still alive. Determined to protect Philomela and get to the bottom of the mystery, Tim embarks on an astonishing adventure... 'With its linguistic razzle-dazzle, Mr. Timothy is a mock-Victorian tour de force - a chilling shocker that touches the heart and makes it race' Wall Street Journal

Worth Reading but liked The Pale Blue Eye way more
My book club read this, and many people couldn't get past the initial seamy, visceral description of urban Victorian-era poverty and filth. Nevertheless I find Bayard's ability to summon a historical period gripping, and had no problem wading forward into the main plot. I read this book based on having read his The Pale Blue Eye, involving Edgar Allan Poe's days at West Point. And found that one way more satisfying. Mr. Timothy is memorable nonetheless.
