This book is like if Downton Abbey had a lovechild with a steampunk mystery and filled it with the most delightfully weird cast of misfits. The plot is solid, with a new mystery for Matt and India to solve while the larger mystery continues but honestly, I’m just here for the chaotic family dynamic and the way they somehow keep the house standing. If there’s one thing they map out perfectly, it’s the path to utter madness.
