A review by krisrid
Death and the Harlot by Georgina Clarke
3.0
This was an enjoyable Victorian-London-whore-with-a-heart-of-gold-ends-up-investigating-a-murder story. I've read a number of similar stories, but the main character here, Lizzie, is a really likable, smart woman and I liked her a lot.
Lizzie is a sensible, capable, and kind woman, who is making a life for herself despite a rotten childhood that forced her to become a prostitute, albeit in one of the better "houses" in London.
The author did a nice job of creating an environment where it makes sense for Lizzie to investigate the murder, and the resulting story was entertaining and an easy, good read.
I would read more books featuring Lizzie. I enjoyed this!
