Review: Gritty Victorian

This is my favorite era for mysteries. I love the Victorian age and I try and read all I can that I find based in that time. This mystery is a bit grittier than I prefer, but it was a fine story with good dialogue. I like a good mystery, but it is the interaction between characters that I look for. One aside. I don't buy based upon the cover, but the cover for this book is just lovely. I did not see a credit for the artist, but it is striking. I see the other offering from this author has a similar style of cover. I saw some other reviews mentioned bad proofreading, and there are some typos, but nothing that detracted from my enjoyment. When I spend a few dollars on a kindle book I simply hope to be carried away from the modern day for a few hours. Ms. Hodgkinson did that.
