The Body at the Tower, by Y.S. Lee
4.0
Genre: Period Mystery
Rating: Very Good
Mary Quinn works for an all woman agency who hires out for detective and spy work in Victorian London.
Mary is a girl from the streets who was trained by the agency. She uses her street smarts to good effect. In this outing, Mary is undercover as a boy hired as a gofer at a building site in London, trying to understand how one of the workers fell to his death from the bell tower where Big Ben is being installed.
Intriguing character development and likable main characters. London, and its poor are their own characters in the series.
