I could not finish due to the audio narration. The voices of the different characters were strange and the pacing was weird. I hope to read the book at some point, as I did like the story so far.

Excellent! This book felt authentic to Victorian life, and was an interesting facet of it that I didn’t know a lot about. The characters were well done and the plot points were too.

I liked the mystery and the historical detail of the railroads in England.. The corruption etc. it kinda felt like reading an Jane Austen because of the headstrong female main character, who goes against what is normal in her social class.
I gave four stars because I felt at times the story kinda slowed and made you question what was happening.
