The Clockwork Ghost by Laura Ruby

4.0

I really enjoyed reading this book, but I thought that in straying from the typical structure of a mystery book, as the climax occurred in the penultimate chapter, it lost its appeal on its own—yes, it was quite fun to read, and yes, its contents were absolutely vital to the development and progression of the series (a photo from 1807, even though cameras were invented in the 1850s, of two of the main characters, Tess and Theodore, was discovered in a suitcase)—but despite this, I felt as though the book was just existing for the other books, and didn’t have any significance or notability on its own.
