Cheeky lady reporter.

This was a wonderful story, it's refreshing to find books that do not include cursing.

The Heroine is a Nitwit!

The Heroine is a complete Nitwit! She gets herself into stupid situations that require a big brave man to get her out. She hasn't even the courage to face up to a drunken kiss and does the "Woah is me" routine for the rest of the book. And the Inspector is not any better.

Really Good

I definitely enjoyed book 2! Great cast of characters and good story line. I like Gabrielle Baker as the narrator too!

Way too much killing in book two but I still enjoyed book two. 🙌🙌

Great Victorian Mystery

Another well done mystery by Miss Organ. I liked the serial killer angle, there were several mysteries they were trying to solve which kept it interesting and made it different than the first. I liked the development between Penny and James, and the narration was perfect once again. I appreciate a mystery that doesn't need gore or sex to sell, yet also isn't juvenile. I have already listened to the third and am moving on the the 4th!
