Dickensian vibes but not Dickens?

[slet]

Can anyone recommend anything with this sort of feel- I want to read about Victorian London in the winter, but I don’t want actual dickens as I have read most of it and it’s a bit convoluted at times.

Any recommendations?

Second Balzac and Jonathan Norrell & Dr Strange by Susanna Clarke

The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad.The Sealed Letter by Emma Donoghoe.

I was going to recommend the same!

Jekyll and Hyde is a perfect frosty oonlight, roaring fire mystery. Even though you know the story - the way it is revealed for the narrator still sends shockwaves. It is utterly brilliant. A perfect novel.
