It can be difficult among the ocean of crime fiction that's out there to enjoy to conjure a sleuth who's undeniably fresh, while still feeling authentic as well (rather than try-hard or forced by the author's hand). A main character that seems very different to what's gone before but also real and organic to the particular story and setting, not just shoved in by the author in a 'look at this, look how unique my character is' way, like they've cobbled together a jigsaw puzzle of lesser-used character traits.

A bridge collapsed with a traveller’s caravan on it and five members of a freakshow were killed. Again this is based on a real life in 1853. The collapse of Hartley Bridge where a number of travellers were killed. Due to the methods used by the killer this was often a dark and gruesome read.
