A review by clcannon
A Trace of Copper by Anne Renwick

4.0

I love a good mystery and when that mystery is set in a Steampunk setting, it's even better! Piyali is a doctor who has been tasked with treating strange illnesses. When a Welsh girl reports a blue frog bite Piyali comes face to face with her old flame and pharmacist, Evan. Together, they must discover a cure and confront their past. The only thing I didn't enjoy about this story was the sensual scenes which felt a little awkward. I do admit that I'm a fade to black sort of reader. Otherwise, this was an entertaining novel with imaginative word-building and likeable characters.
