    I have The Name of the Star on my list too....because it has both ghosts and serial killers! London is certainly an added bonus. http://wp.me/pzUn5-1uw

      Yes, I didn't even think about the ghost factor - that adds it to the supernatural category too :)

    New follower! I tend to like books set in London too. Though the ones I've read that are set there are usually classics.
