A review by graypeape
City of Secrets by Victoria Thompson

A quick, enjoyable read. Interesting, well fleshed out characters, with a good mystery. You know who the bad guys are from the beginning; seeing how our heroine and her cohorts figure everything out and bring them to justice is fun, as more and more information comes to light. This is the second book of a new series, but can stand alone. There is near constant referring back to the events of the first book, which is mostly necessary and helpful, but gets a little old at times, as does the repeating of events currently happening to characters within the story, though the author eases off on that as the book goes along. The ending is satisfying, comeuppance is had, and the romantic subplot is properly swoony.
