  It took FOREVER to get through this book. I left off at 25% for months and could never get through more than a page or two at a time. I finally was able to pick it back up the other day and am glad I did. The story was a lot less dark than the first book but still good.
  The end wasn’t really a surprise in the who culprit was, but it got so twistedly farcical that it made it worthwhile.
  Also, picturing them and their deep seated desire not to use the phone was hysterical.
  
  Oh, there were lots of typos or grammatical errors. Nothing obscenely ridiculous but plentiful. So if you’re bothered by it, give this a wide berth

  I must admit I feel rather conflicted. I appreciated and enjoyed the writing, but not the plot. The writer painted a vivid picture of the Victorian London, but the story had been lost along the way.
  
  About 40% of the book (if not more) were retellings of the previous book’s events, I felt like I was not participating, rather listening to the gossips, events that already happened behind the scene. All characters were re-introduced with almost the same wording as they were in the first entry.
  
  After we figured out who was the “culprit”, I found myself no longer invested in the story. This whole occurrence seemed really far-fetched to me. I kept pushing through the book probably because of the good impressions of the first book.
  
  This being said the characters are still very much likeable, especially Wolf 👀 Sarah F.Noel handles her writing pretty well and I appreciate the effort she puts in diversifying the vocabulary. Yet I wished that there would have been more action to the story.

  I'm disappointed in the consequences. The heroine places herself in an unusually perilous situation in order to eliminate a suspect. They teach him a lesson, but she doesn't seem to realize that she was foolish and an expected dress down from the paramour was completely by-passed.
  
  Also, it is NOT okay for someone to kidnap a child and use them for blackmail without facing punishment, even if they are a better parent/educator than the heroine. It is also not okay for them to remain in the child's life. I'm sorry, it really isn't.

  My new favorite author!
  
  As an avid reader of Victorian Mysteries, it is sad to say I am rarely surprised by a book. This one and it's predecessor are true gems. The writing is perfect in it's balanced approach to sprinkling of uncommon words and historical detail. If you want adventure without the emotional torture of depressing outcomes, I highly recommend this author! Sarah Noel is like an intelligent friend who has come for tea. You will enjoy the encounter.

  I truly love this series! The characters become more endearing with each book, the plot is always straight forward and easily followed, and the premise is also always helping their fellow Brit, no matter what walk of life they are in. Although I admire Violet, the main protagonist, I absolutely love the little girl, Melody. I have seen her in my life dreams as well. I most assuredly recommend this book and the entire series and look forward to more of this author's works.

  Another interesting investigation.
  
  Tabby cat and Woffie join forces again to find the real murderer of a young woman whose father is butler for the old Dutchess. Kidnapping, murder, German, Irish, spies and misunderstandings are all just part of the mayhem of this investigation. The ending is not one to easily guess. The book keeps interest Enjoy

  A Singular Woman, A Review. LAS.
  
  Another delightful story in the series. There was at least one scene in the book that had me shaking with laughter. Great plot, wonderful characters.

  The circle is tightening...in a good way. There are many things that strike me as thoroughly anachronistic; then again, my view of the time period is based on other novels! (Mainly romance/mystery, but Dickens too. :-) And George Eliot, and Thackery.) So, what do I know?

  Delightful
  
  This series continues to improve, and I find that I am looking forward to Book 3. I love how little Melody wraps everyone around her smallest fingertips.
