I loved this book..

Set in the 1880s London, female reporter Penny Green, discovers that her friend has been shot and killed in a nearby cemetary... the same friend who she knows died years before... She sets out with Inspector Blakley to find out what really happened.

Many twists and turns, and a brilliant and clever plot, makes this a fabulous read.

Historical fiction is a favourite genre of mine and this I hope is going to be a fantastic series..

This was a strong historical mystery novel, it had everything that I was hoping for from a opening chapter in a mystery novel. I was invested in the characters and how they worked in this story. It had that tense and suspenseful atmosphere that I was looking for in a good mystery novel. I enjoyed the way Emily Organ wrote this and made the characters pop. It left me wanting to read more in the Penny Green Victorian Mystery series.

In 1880s London, life for a female reporter is rather precarious. We meet Penny Green, who is bewildered when she finds out that a friend she had died 5 years before had been shot in a cemetery. Aided by the rather charming Inspector Blakley, she seeks to find out what really happened. There are some red herrings and twist and turns, until the full story comes out. It is a clever plot, and the added historical background of suffrage, clothing, typewriters and other issues adds to the story. I would like to read the next book in the series to see what happens next to our main characters. Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for a copy to read and review.

The first in a series im already a fan. The excitement of unraveling this mystery with press and police proceedure is undeniably good. The only thing missing was a romance but maybe thats planned. Our heroine is methodical and interesting and i loved the finale. It definitely does have you reading deep into the night, loved it.
