A Lady in the Smoke: A Victorian Mystery by Karen Odden
4.0
I just randomly picked this up...
But it was pretty good!
The mystery that surrounded the beginning events cleverly engages the reader into an interesting adventure that attempts to give a snapshot of the different industries of the Victorian Era (health, technology, legal).
While the ending/romance to me at first seemed foolish (and by the standards of then was indeed a bad idea), reaxamining my criteria and applying it to this book, I couldn't fault them for their attachment. It was actually well written and entertaining.
Would recommend!
