MADMAN
Grieving the loss of his best friend, while covering for colleagues killed and wounded by the unknown Haymarket bomber, Sergeant Billy Doran is not a happy man. The rookie he has thrust upon him to complicate his working and personal life only adds to his frustration, but when a madman appears from the shadows to stalk his city and endanger his own family, Doran knows he must find a way to work with his new detective if they are to catch the killer, or it will be more than the city of Chicago that will lie in ruins.
Madman A Diamond Doran Mystery The Diamond and Doran Mysteries Book 1 edition by Tracy Tonkinson Romance eBooks
(Bought this after the interview on It's A Mystery. There are at least two books in this series (with a third upcoming), but it is currently not possible to buy the second book in the US.)The mood and atmosphere are quite Chicago in the period. There are points where I think the two are a bit too modern with their sensibilities, but it's a good mystery. There's a bit more research that could be done on period policing techniques and the level of corruption that would be expected of Diamond at his rank in old-time Chicago (It's simply not possible to avoid it in the time-period).

Madman A Diamond Doran Mystery The Diamond and Doran Mysteries Book 1 edition by Tracy Tonkinson Romance eBooks Reviews
I received a copy of “Madman”, an historical mystery, from the author through Voracious Readers Only. Fair labour laws have not come about easily and this book points that out as it highlights the plight of the worker in nineteenth century Chicago. I was delighted with the nineteenth century setting and the characters. Diamond and Doran are tough but tender cops trying to keep the peace during a century calling for radical social change. Anarchists call forth the tough side and Doran's daughters allow the cops to show their tender side. Together they work relentlessly to solve the crimes of a bombing at the Haymarket, corruption on the force and a missing daughter. I thoroughly enjoyed this book that both entertained and informed. I highly recommend it and look forward to the next in the series. Author Tracy Tonkinson lives in Ontario, where I live, and I am hoping that Diamond's birthplace of Toronto works into future stories!
I enjoyed this fast paced mystery and it kept me in the edge of my seat. No easy solve halfway through.
Superb. An eloquently written book which you don't want to put down. It's not my usual reading subject but it has left me eagerly looking forward to book 2
A tale that is vividly written and rich in detail. I enjoyed meeting all the characters against this historical backdrop and I am looking forward to book #2.
Loved this book. It was a well developed & intriguing mystery. I especially enjoy books which give me a "history" lesson, as well as a good read. This one fits the bill. Can't wait to read the next book. Hoping there will be many more to come.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one. All thoughts & opinions are entirely my own.
A very awesome book cover, & great font/writing style. A very well written crime thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.
Thank you for the free Bookfunnel; Author; PDF book

This is Tracy Tonkinson's first "Diamond and Doran" novel and I was completely engaged in the story and the characters right from the first page. Madman is a murder-mystery set in Chicago in 1886. Arthur Diamond is a new recruit to the Chicago Police Force, but he is in no way inexperienced, having served in the British military in his past life. His boss is the tough, no-nonsense Irish-American Billy Doran and this unlikely combination of characters take us on a breakneck adventure through the grimy, crime-ridden streets of Chicago in search of a serial killer.
One of the signs of a good book is what is going on in your mind after you put it down and I found myself caring about the characters and wondering what would be happening to them when I resumed my reading. You can almost smell the sweat and putrid odours of the Chicago Stockyards and hear the clanging bells of the streetcars as you read through this story. The complex characters of Diamond and Doran are revealed layer by layer as the story unfolds, and Tonkinson has left us eagerly anticipating the next novel in the series.
