WOW. This is not my usual fare, but it was good. Ms. James wrote a great start to her world and her mystery series, The Penumbra Papers. I liked Sade Marquis's hard won strengths and the cast of males around her, some who value her for what/who she is, and some who value her for her. Plus there seems to be someone trying to kill everyone, but the evidence, while pointing in one direction, doesn't quite add up. The last scene seemed a bit abbreviated (I would have liked a little longer to take down the bad guy), but there are several questions left open to explore in the second story. This is a short story, so don't expect a novel out of this one, but you get more of Sade and the gang in the next one. 4.5 stars!
