Feb 15, 2019
<blockquote>"Women's choices were grim in those days, even for the clever. If a top secret women's detective agency existed in Victorian England, it left no evidence--just as well, since that would cast serious doubt on its competence. The Agency is a totally unrealistic, completely fictitious antidote to the fate that would otherwise swallow a girl like Mary Quinn."</blockquote>
An easy and interesting read, with an intriguing protagonist in Mary Quinn. The plot and characters easily kept my attention and I look forward to the others in the series.
