What readers say
Readers enjoy this gaslamp mystery series for its clever young English inventor heroine, a vivid Gold Rush California setting that mixes Wild West grit with British manners, tinkering and automatons, witty dialogue and tense who-can-she-trust plotting. Many call it a quick, fun read with series potential. Common criticisms are a slow first half, less steampunk and paranormal flavor than the label suggests, a heroine who can be too trusting or passive, a faint romance, thin supporting characters, plots that some find scattered, and copy-editing slips.
Best for: Readers who want light, gaslamp-flavored historical mysteries with an inventor heroine.
