A Mortal Likeness by Laura Joh Rowland

4.0

This is a twisty second installment to the Victorian Mystery series, and whenever I had to put it down, I always remembered exactly who was who and what was happening in the story. Sarah Bain and her friend Hugh have launched a private detective agency, and due to being at the wrong place at the wrong time, they are hired to investigate a famous kidnapping case. A baby, Robin, about 20 months old, has been kidnapped from his crib during the night, and his father hires Sarah, Hugh, and street urchin Mick to live in his home and investigate his family. The family's dark secrets come out over the course of the story, and Sarah also learns more about her own father than she did before. Sarah's romance with P.C. Barrett continues, and Hugh meets the love of his life. After many false starts, the kidnapping is solved. This is an engaging and fun series. Looking forward to the next.
