Another fantastic book in the ate and Bell Mysteries! I loved that this book took place at a theatre yet still connected all the other books together. This book was so twisty and well written  that I really did not make the connection of who the killer was until Gemma and Sebastian did!

Again Irina Shapiro paints an excellent picture of London in the 1800s! I really enjoyed learning about the theater and apothecaries of that time period. I also love that Gemma Tate is being portrayed as an independent woman which during this time period was looked down upon.

I hope there will be more books so we can see how Sebastian and Gemma's relationship/partnership continues to grow.
