pickStarting in a fresh and unusual way the first few chapters were humourous, light-hearted and fun to read. The story then became tedious as the investigation proceeded. The conclusion opens the way for more books in this series. In Georgian times a lady on immoral earnings has one of her clients murdered and joins the runners to find the killer. One of the early clues may give the game away but it's worth reading. My partner also gives it a pick.
pickI'm not sure how I heard about this book - probably from the incomparable @robinb - but regardless, it was a very enjoyable read. You find yourself rooting for Lizzie, a harlot with good breeding and a keen sense of observation, as she tries to determine who killed a client in order to clear her own name.

pickI was pleasantly surprised by this debut historical mystery set in 1759 London. While I did guess ”who dun it”, the plot line was more imaginative and complicated than I originally thought. However it was the harlot with the ❤️ of gold and eye for detail that stole the show and really shone here. I really hope that I haven‘t heard the last of Lizzie and her adventures with the Bow Street Runners. 4/5⭐️
