Her extensive network of informants is critical for her work, but she doesn’t mind tapping that same web of spies to track down an elusive killer. Quill to publish her scathing political cartoons. Joining Wrexford in his investigation is Charlotte Sloane, who uses the pseudonym A. It seems her husband’s designs for a revolutionary steam-powered engine went missing the night of his death. But Wrexford soon finds himself drawn into the murder investigation when the inventor’s widow begs for his assistance, claiming the crime was not a random robbery. When Lord Wrexford discovers the body of a gifted inventor in a dark London alley, he promptly alerts the watchman and lets the authorities handle the matter. This book would no doubt capitalize on that chemistry. While each had something that I liked independently, the thing I loved most about them was the chemistry. In the first book, I loved getting to know the protagonist, Lord Wrexford and Mrs Slone. I was anxious to read the next book and was thrilled to finally see it on Netgalley! Last year I had the pleasure of reviewing the first book in a new series, Murder on Black Swan Lane, which was an exciting first book.
