I think Antastasia Hastings might be on to something with their ‘Dear Miss Hermione’ series. As of this book, all the characters are now in place to triumph over crime in Victorian London with some potential romance mixed in.

While I was able to figure out ‘who dunnit’ rather quickly, the reason why was not so apparent, so the book was enjoyable all the way to the last page.

It will be entertaining to see where the author takes Violet, Sephora, and Bunty in the next book. A caper in an Italian city perhaps?

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Minotaur Books for the eArc.
