Consulting detective, Hester Lynton, and her loyal companion, Ivy Jessop, are back once again. An array of cases challenge their wits and it will take all their skills to catch these criminals.

Having recently finished the first collection of short stories, it was fun to pick up this new collection. The cases are varied with no one like the other. This made for an entertaining read. A few were straightforward and easy to solve, and others were more “twisty” in the solution.

The very first case was my favorite because although I am bad at them, I do enjoy a good puzzle to solve!

My biggest complaint for the previous book was that the narrator felt off, being told by Hester. Although that changed in book two, with Ivy being our narrator for the collection, it didn’t feel like a change. There was nothing different about how the stories were told, and I think that’s what bothered me the most. There was no real sense of character. I can’t pin down anything about them beyond Ivy being a secretary and loyal. We are told more details about Hester, that she is kind and intelligent.

Still, this was a fun read. Those who enjoy a Victorian female detective may enjoy this one. I received a free copy through NetGalley and all opinions are my own.
