3.0

Inconsistently paced and a bit hard to follow until the mystery really got going. Could probably have been edited down and easier to read. The last third was action-packed and really quite fun to listen to. Didn't particularly care for any of the characters, but learned a bit about the British suffrage movement that I'm eager to look into more.
