bailedI really wanted to like this book, but alas, I just couldn‘t finish it. The author‘s writing was rather dry, and went into a lot of tangential philosophical writings. I gave up to read more interesting books.
I just finished the first book in the Wrexford and Sloane Historical Mystery series and I promptly began the second book.
pickGreat second book in the Wexford/Sloane mystery series. A strong historical mystery set in Regency London. Lord Wexford and Charlotte Sloane make a formidable, evenly matched pair. Friends of Raven and Hawk (Charlotte's wards) are a troupe of streetwise urchins who help gather information, similar to Holmes' Baker Street Irregulars.
Good characterization of both primary and secondary characters.

pickThis is a great historical fiction series. A shame they couldn‘t spend a bit more time on proofreading.
pickGreat read about inventions that everyday people have made! I‘ve ordered a copy through eBay!

pickThe Wrexford & Sloane duo continues when a robbery thought to have gone awry turns out to be the murder of an inventor whose ideas would transform the steam-powered mechanized world of Regency London. Lord Wrexford's scientific mind combined with Charlotte Sloane's contacts from the unsavory side of the city help to bring the culprits to light. I was a fan of the premise for this on how 1 idea can be both transformative & dangerous for its owner.
