This was my first novel by Irina Shapiro and somewhat outside of my usual genres. I have been truly missing out!
I loved how the historical setting came alive and swept me away into a world of horse drawn carriages, betrayal and deceit.
The characters were intriguing and well developed.
I am excited to see what is in store for Sebastian, Gemma and Colin in the future, what an interesting trio.
Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to enjoy a Historical Mystery Thriller.

This was very well written. The characters were well fleshed out, making you want to know what was g0ing to be revealed next. There was a very nice explanation of the different classes explaining why things played out the day they did. Well worth the read and I look forward to reading the next tale.

Nothing original or engaging. The narrative is really flat and quite boring, the plot is predictable and I just kept feeling I'd read/seen it all before.
Was getting bored and sure I knew who the killer was. Skipped to the end to make sure I was right (I was). I found the pacing slow and it just wasn't for me.

Fun Victorian murder mystery. Strong plot and characters, with a good and interesting detective. An educated sister of one of the characters provides a woman’s view of 19th century London and nursing.
