The main character's angst over being single gets repetitive pretty fast. I love the narrator, though, and it's a good story to fall asleep to.

This book was a lot of fun to read. I really enjoyed a fun little jaunt through (I believe) a Regency-era London infested with all kinds of supernatural creatures, particularly with zombies being the focus of this book. I think the way Wallace incorporated the supernatural into the historical time period worked really well, and I particularly enjoyed the way zombies work in this book. I won't say it's the most incredible book in the world, but it was a highly enjoyable read and I am definitley looking forward to continuing the series and seeing what Hannah gets up to next.

I know the big thing now is regency errands dramas and reinterpretations. I. This instance, society is plagued by the undead, created by a powder which afflicted high society.
The premise is ridiculous, but somehow the author makes it work. They seamlessly hit the target markets of regency Era, and murder mystery.
For someone looking for traditional zombie attacks. They'll be disappointed. These zombies act more like vampires, where they are still functioning members of society, even attending high society balls.
I'm glad to hear what all the fuss was about. It answered my curiosity but I won't be continuing with the series. It was an interesting premise but historical murder mystery and regency Era retelling aren't my thing.
