Murder at the Merton Library by Andrea Penrose
5.0
I absolutely love this series and this installment is no exception. It is another wonderful addition to the series. There are two mysteries in the story-line, one involving solving the murder of a family friend that served with Wexler’s brother during the war. While Charlotte’s mystery has a maritime connection as she delves into the advancement of ocean-going steam engines and its potential economic impact. Could there be a connection between them, if so, what is the link. The story allows the reader a view into the social disparities of the Victorian periods along with the scientific advancement of the industrial revolution.
This book can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading the books in sequence to get a better understanding of this family of characters and their back stories. I appreciate the author’s ability to connect historical and scientific advancement of the times into the narrative along with the vivid description of Victorian society. I highly recommend this book and the entire series.
