Thanks to Minotaur Books for the gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the 3rd in a series but I haven't read the first 2.

Set in historical New York in 1913, we follow lady's maid, Jane Prescott. She lives with her uncle who runs a refuge for women. A young lady staying there is killed and her uncle brought under suspicion. Jane sets out to prove his innocence.

I didn't feel I needed to read the first two to get a grip of who Jane is. It reads well as a standalone. As to the book, it was good but maybe drug a little in the middle and I found myself skipping some paragraphs of descriptions. My favorites parts included a man, Leo, who sets out to court Jane.
