I'm a sucker for a Victorian era historial fiction novel so I picked this book up with the intent of already liking it.  Don't get me wrong I did enjoy this novel but the author could have picked up the pace a little more.  The book was a little slow in the beginning, a lot slower in the middle, and the last 10 pages or so were great.  As a murder mystery I thought I had the foe figured out but I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong.  I did like the heroine of the novel- it's not every day that I read about a victorian era actress (when acting was seen as a lowly occupation a step above prostitution for actresses) and one that stumbled into a mystery.  Pretty good novel despite the plodding plot hindered by one too many detailed paragraphs.
