The niece of Sherlock Holmes, Evelina Cooper, has found
herself enveloped in a murder mystery that needs to be solved. The timing is
very inconvenient as she is about to have her first season and she has the
attention of a handsome rake and an old friend who has held her heart before. When the murder leads her in the directions
of her friend’s family and the powerful steam baron she must put her secret weapon
to use to find the clues before time runs out.
If the pacing hadn’t been so slow this novel would have
gotten 5 stars. With the length and subject matter there needed to be some more
action to keep the pages turning quickly. The plot was great and there were lots of
little twists to keep the mystery unpredictable. Nothing seemed to be cluttered
or suffocating. The characters were
written very well and it was easy to become invested in them. I will recommend
this one and I look forward to the next installment.
