librarianlayla 's review for:

Deception by Gaslight by Kate Belli
4.0

I received an eARC of this through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

A fast paced murder mystery, a cat and mouse-esque relationship and a righteous thief bind this story together.

However, there were at times quite a lot of moments that were just high society scenes that didn't lend itself to the plot at all. I felt that some of the side characters could have played bigger roles or had more depth to them.

I did enjoy the dynamic between the two main characters however, and enjoyed the journalistic side.
