This is the first book of a STEM inspired mystery series and it offered an amazing story. It offers characters that are brilliant and charming set to the backdrop of 1920s London.

I enjoyed the main characters and the investigation itself. It wasn't entirely surprising but it was fun to listen to.

I enjoyed the characters (mostly) and the setting and the romance. The mystery was alright. The writing was a little amateurish, but not bad. The main character was a little too not-like-other-girls, and there isn't a very good representation of other women aside from the main character (and her best friend who isn't in the book too much but is a welcome voice of reason). Overall, I enjoyed it enough to try the sequel too.

There is the immediate threat of sexual assault/violence on page. It isn't explicit or graphic, but it could be triggering.

the main character is threatened with violent sexual assault by an antagonist, but they are interrupted before it is carried out.
