I think there are some slower or clunkier moments that drag the pace a bit, but the characters are delightful and it’s a fun ride through the Victorian era. The imagined characters in a clearly well researched cast of real historical figures just does it for me.

Now I do think it slightly hindered my experience because I kept thinking of the show and wondering why they added certain things that was not in the book.
I still finished this rather quickly and the story kept me listening, but I think I listen to things faster the more macabre they are. It's my way of getting them over with faster.

The story is long but doesn’t feel as long as it looks. I was a little intimated by the length but it feels shorter than it is.
I really enjoyed this
