Helpful Score: 1

This book is the second of a three part series this time set in 1910 Paris during the Great Flood. This series reads more like a soap opera to me in as you know there's a mystery in it (actually two) but it stays centered on the lives of Baron Alexander von Reisden and Perdita Halley and comes back to it, the mystery, from time to time. Most of the main characters from the first book are back and with them, the same moral dilemmas society faced at the turn of the century. This was a little tougher for me to read then the first. It was probably because of the extensive use of French and being set in Paris, neither of which I have any knowledge of. Still loved the story though and I'm hooked on the series. Can't wait to read part three.
