- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I was looking for something easy to read, and this--despite the plethora of content warnings I'm about to select--fit the bill nicely.
There are a couple of mysteries running in parallel, some fun--if one dimensional--characters, and Victorian England is an entertaining--if lightly sketched--setting. I found the writing to be straight forward, so the plot had to do the heavy lifting in keeping me engaged. Which it did.
