I’m sure there are people that would absolutely love this book. I’m just not particularly fond of stories set in industrial revolution time periods, and I really don’t enjoy books where the protagonist is a cop. TRIGGER WARNING:

while not depicted, the main motivation for Wax to save the women that have been abducted is that he finds out they are likely being sex trafficked. He does not find them in this book and it is implied they will be forcibly bred to produce Allomancers.

This gave cozy murder mystery vibes and I will not be taking comments on it.  The pacing of the story was good and it was easy to follow along.  The characters were great and the humor was always timed perfectly.  A moment of silence for Wayne’s lucky hat though.
