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.
