Marion Lane and the Midnight Murder by T.A. Willberg
Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.
This is the story of Marion Lane; an intern at a top-ranking, underground investigation agency masquerading as a dilapidated bookshop in London. Someone decides to murder one of their underground pals which leads to a wrongful conviction and a band of apprentices armed with fantastical gadgets are quickly mobilised to figure out what the hell happened.
Whilst normally this kind of style would be right up my street, this book just wasn't for me but I can absolutely see why others will love it.
At the start, I was hooked. A secret underground task force in an alternate London sounds AMAZING, but that's where my love for this fell to the wayside. Marion is adorable but there are a lot of characters that I couldn't keep up with or, in some cases, tell apart.
As much as I tried, this was a tough read (and a bit of a slog) and one I just couldn't gel with.
