This is the story of 2 women in Georgian London. It start with a bit of mystery and suspense and the plot rumbles along at a fair pace. The setting was excellent:a vivid picture of London in the 18th century. However I didn't particularl care about either of the two main characters. Additionally, I found parts - particularly the ending - rather unbelievable (and this from a keen reader of fantasy!). Overall an enjoyable read but not a favourite.
