Dana's Reviews > Mad Miss Mimic

I had fun reading this Victorian mystery. The main character's selective mutism/mimicking was a very interesting trait. I have never read about a character with that affliction before so it was pretty cool.

The publisher describes this as a cross between a Jane Austen Novel and a Sherlock one. While I would not agree with that description, I can see where the intent to create that vibe came from.

The mystery in the novel captured my attention but it was a very light and simple mystery. No nail biting here.

The romance in the story was sweet too, although it did feel a little silly near the end.

I found the subject of casual drug use in Victorian England very interesting. I don't know why I am always interested so much in vices of times past, but nevertheless I quite liked that part of the story. I also liked how the author wrote more about the subject at the end of the book.

Overall I found this to be a fun read with a light mystery and an intriguing main character. 3.5/5
