Review: Unbelievable premise, cliffhanger ending

A secret team of Scotland Yard investigators unravel the mystery of a disappearing painting in 1890s London.I picked up this book free during an Amazon giveaway. First, the premise was completely unbelievable - 1890s Scotland Yard using women as investigators? Then Rackham compounded her problems by repeatedly changing the narrator so each member of the team had a turn. This didn't add anything to the story and confused this reader as to who was speaking at any given time. Finally, I despise cliffhanger endings, and consider them an inexcusable racket on the author's part. The story itself wasn't awful, and I read it all the way through, but I doubt I'll be reading any more and I sure won't be paying money for any. Spelling, grammar, and Kindle formatting were acceptable. The title was relevant but somewhat misleading.
