The Angel of Darkness

Right now, I'm reading the book "The Angel of Darkness" by Caleb Carr. It's the sequel "The Alienist" and I love it. It's set in the late 1890s NY; and I've recently come to the realization that the turn of the century from 1800s to the 1900s is my favorite time period. Carr does a lot of historical research and the characters react to the politics of the time in a believable fashion. He'll also throw in some historical characters which makes it cool. In the Alienist he threw in Teddy Roosevelt and in this one he throws in Elizabeth Cady Stanton. If you haven't read "The Alienist", read that one first.
