A Goodreads user asked Theodora Goss:

So the first book in the Athena club is told from the future, Catherine, Mary; and the others are commenting " that was before, x hadent happened yet" also the end of the stpry tells us they all found professions. How long is the time between the mystery is solved\the night by the harbour with the kidnapping and the time Catherine everything down?

Theodora Goss The first book is written about a year after the events it describes. :)
