The Vanishing Thief by Kate Parker

3.0

I enjoyed this despite the historical innacuracies like modern language and attitudes. What I didn't love was the heroine, whp is at times crass and often rude for no reason except a stubborn and dogged pursuit for what she calls justice, but really looks like nosiness. It seems to me like the author's attempt to write a strong, independent femal character in the Victorian era just did not succeed and she relied too much on rude behaviors to convey the independent and strong status. I want to see where the story goes as the series progresses and will probably read another one or two of the series to see if they smooth out some of her edges, if only because I like the setting and the supporting characters a lot.
