A review by ashdawn
Murder by Lamplight by Patrice McDonough

dark mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

The mystery on this one was great, and I did not expect the end! The historical aspects were also well researched. 

However, the main characters didn't seem well developed until very late in the book. And none of them were particularly endearing.
