4 stars. This was absolutely delightful. I loved the writing of this and the setting of England during the Victorian era. It was very well done and atmospheric. The main character, Stetson, is an actress and detective and she is such an interesting and awesome character. She runs a detective agency but she dresses as a man, Xavier Wellington, to be able to solve the cases and it absolutely fascinating. She goes in disguise as a bunch of different characters and it was fun. She’s great at her job.

There are five mysteries in this and they are all great reads. I also appreciated the subtle romance between Stetson and Evelyn. They were adorable together. Overall, this was such a fun read and I really hope there will be more books coming soon.

I got this book immediately after reading the synopsis, I really love a good mystery/crime fiction! The story is sectioned into cases almost line short stories in a way. I didn’t really like the first one I thought it was super rushed and other then adding conflict I don’t really know what it’s purpose was, but after that I really loved it! I already have the next book and am really excited to see where the story goes!
