I simply loved the writing , since of humor and straightforward not using a lot of words to fill the page.
I am looking forward to the next book

An enjoyable, quirky Victorian mystery. The ending was a bit OTT but the characters and the mysteries were thoroughly engaging.

[Megan Denise Robinson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Fascinating Victorian murder mystery with an excellent narrator. The intrepid Lily Raynor, former nurse and now head of the World’s End Detective Bureau and her newly hired assistant Felix Wilbraham are investigating possible threats to a respectable young wife who happens to be a medium. There have also been a number of ladies, many of them prostitutes, who have disappeared from this woman’s neighborhood. Are the two things connected?

I really enjoyed this read and the characters are the best. I loved how they met and the job she does so well already and now with her new employee they can handle more cases. I liked how there was more than one case being worked on at the same time.

I really liked this book the characters and story lines up and it's not long and boring some languages and too much information was a little too coarse but the story told my attention so I over look it the narrator was good
