The Laundryman is set in late-19th-century Canada. The novel follows two North-West Mounted Police officers tasked with investigating the murder of a Chinese laundryman in the small frontier town of Prince Albert.
The novelโs perspective, largely filtered through Surgeon Virgil Montgomery, offers a compelling moral lens. Montgomeryโs observations contrast sharply with the brutal realities he encounters. His uneasy partnership with Corporal Belvedere adds depth to the narrative.
Beyond its crime-fiction framework, The Laundryman confronts uncomfortable historical truths. The story is well paced without any dull moments in it. The twists and turns in the story made it a gripping read.
The Laundryman is a haunting, intelligent novel that blends mystery with historical realism and moral inquiry. The storyline kept me hooked till the last page. The narration is smooth and strong. I am definitely interested in reading more books by the author in the future.
