jenabest's review against another edition
3.0
Despite the cover and blurb, this is rather dark. The topics are dark (cancer, asylums, human trafficking/prostitution, etc.) and disguised by the air of gentry. Do not be fooled - this is not a lighthearted mystery series. Even the romance aspect is rather dark. It's not what I expected, but the writing was good, so I'm not too down-and-out.
Moderate: Forced institutionalization, Cancer, and Trafficking
