Publisher's Summary

Peter Ackroyd's Hawksmoor was first published in 1985. Alternating between the eighteenth century, when Nicholas Dyer, assistant to Christopher Wren, builds seven London churches that house a terrible secret, and the 1980s, when London detective Nicholas Hawksmoor is investigating a series of gruesome murders on the sight of certain old churches, Hawksmoor is a brilliant tale of darkness and shadow.

difficult read and the philosophy was lost on me

I think I bit off more than I could chew with this novel. I feel people that live in the London area might appreciate it more since it speaks of so many locations, but even the story itself was hard to follow. We travel back and forth from the past to the present and the story itself is about an evil man that lives many lives which all relates back to the churches.

Perhaps had I read it I might have been better able to absorb the meanings behind the story, but listening to it didn't give me the chance to digest what was happening and why.
