I found this book to be most enjoyable even though there were so many characters, but each played an integral part to the storyline and hopefully many will be brought back in future books. I loved the Victorian setting, old London in a foggy mist with gas lighting, hansom cabs, blazing fires, bobbies....well you get the picture, very Sherlock Holmes-esqe.

The mystery was great, filled with twists and turns among polite society. Georgia with her quick wit and strong values met her match with the Duke of Blackford. I suspect we will see more of him. A second mystery was interwoven within the story which was also intriguing.

Overall the book was well-written, fun to read, and gave me a sense of being right there on the streets of London. You can't ask for more than that. I anxiously await Book Two. Well done Kate Parker!
