A regency murder mystery quite unlike any other I have read. This book introduces us to a young woman (Sloane) who is eking out her living by submitting society drawings on the sly, using her dead husband's moniker. A male member of the aristocracy (Wrexford) is becoming a target of a certain Bow Street Runner, mistakenly identified as a possible murderer. The two must join forces.
There is a focus on alchemy by some of the members of a secret society and the action gets lively with two young street boys swept up in the dangerous undercurrent of diabolical schemes.
I look forward to reading further in the series.
