This is an easy and intriguing read that places you in early 19th century London. It is essentially a mystery that the two main characters have to solve. I loved the Gothic imagery and the contrast between the dark underbelly of the city to the rich, aristocratic snapshots of the upper-class characters.
However, I felt some parts of the writing was telling rather than showing, especially in regards to emotions. Also, the plot could have been tweaked slightly for it to be better.
