Customer Reviews
Excellent concept, adequate mystery
Spoiler…the concept of a young woman “inheriting” a sleuthing business from her estranged grandfather is excellent. Fresh and intriguing. The mystery Miss Ashford takes on is a tangled mess. So many false trails and weak characters seem (to me, that is) to pull apart the strength of the main plot and characters. My bet is that the next book in the series improves because the ground-work has been laid. A good series beginning for anyone looking for a period mystery with a new approach.

Great atmosphere and a lovely heroine. I look forward to reading more.
