I love San Francisco, love reading about the Victorian era (wherever it may be in the world!) love crime fiction... and so discovering M.L. Locke's stories was a treat for me.  I've enjoyed them all.  This little collection of four short stories is just perfect and one learns about some minor characters who nonetheless play important parts in the household or life of Annie Fuller who own the boarding house where they live.  They all have distinct characters and one becomes very fond of them all.  Dandy the dog is described so well, I want to cuddle him.  Maybe my favourite is Mr Wong. That story had its serious side too, speaking of the trade in Chinese girls..very relevant today as well.  Keep going Ms Locke...I want to read more about these people!
