I really enjoyed it and recommend it for download.
Here is the blurb:
The Victorian detective Hester Lynton and her sharp-minded assistant Ivy Jessop are back for another series of dazzling adventures.
In London a mysterious package with a deadly secret has landed on Hester's desk.
In the suburbs, a woman is plagued by a series of pranks which hint at the supernatural.
And in Islington, a medium claims to have the power to access the thoughts of her client's dead relatives, as well as the money in their pockets.
Can Hester find the elusive Soho Anarchist before another bomb is blown? Will she unearth the secret of Greystones Villa and identify its tormentor? And will she unveil the true identity of Madame Valland and the secrets of her supernatural powers?
Join Hester and Ivy as they travel throughout the country chasing adventure and solving mysteries.
This casebook promises twists and turns with a pair of lady sleuths with sharp wits and Holmesian intelligence.
'The Soho Anarchist' is the second in a dazzling new series of Victorian mystery stories that is perfect for fans of the Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, and the Raffles series.
“A slick and sassy detective series. The female Holmes and Watson take on the criminal underworld of London.” - Richard Foreman, best-selling author of of the Raffles series.
Tony Evans is a full-time writer. His other publications include adaptations of classic novels [for the “Real Reads” series] and co-authorship of a book on steam locomotives. He lives with his wife in the Yorkshire Dales.




Now, I am continuing my "spring cleaning" and have moved on to




The first, Capital Girls, is a YA/NA series about four teens living in D.C. and how they balance being teenagers with politics. These books are excellent for teens and adults. This series is old school YA/NA. There are no vampires, werewolves, stalkers, abuse, or whatever else is in the current YA books. This series is about grades, peer pressure, gossip, boyfriend/girlfriend issues, working parents, college choices, and all the stuff teens endure on a regular basis - except this is under the harsh spotlight of politics. That adds a delicious twist. :)
The second series starts with Marked for Vengeance and fits in most every genre: mystery, suspense, paranormal, YA, NA, dystopia, romance, and thriller to name a few. This series is about Protectors who come to Earth to guard their humans. The Protectors are also humans. I seriously love this series! :) Book 3, the final book, comes out around August and I can't wait! :) If anyone has read anything like this, please let me know because this is soooo different, to me. I'd love to read more books like this. :)


Hey Abby ,
Let me know how's Time Traveller's Wife , I am planning to read it next :)

How do they books compare with the films? (If you've seen them).
At the moment I'm working my way through The Complete Sherlock Holmes, and I've almost reached the end of The Return of Sherlock Holmes. I also just started The People of the Abyss by Jack London.

I wish Audible.com would put out an unabridged To Kill A Mockingbird with an exceptional narrator. It is one of my favorite books of all time.

Amazon.com or www.tarnpublishing.com
Thanks!

The Time Traveler's Wife is so raunchy but SO GOOD

Have you read 50 Shades of Grey yet?? I haven't but I have been debating it, I normally don't go for the whole popular book bit, but it seems intriguing in some odd way.






That one is on my TBR as well. Is it anything like the books in the 'Cemetery of Forgotten Books' series?

Crank

I like books about Europe, traveling, romance, YA books, and anything with steamy scenes :)
So far I've enjoyed the writing style of
*Tammara Webber in "Easy"
*Stephanie Perkins- "Anna and the French kiss"
*Huntly Fitzpatricks- "My life Next door"
All great books. Any ideas on what to read next?

I just finished Clockwork Princess. Definitely a great book! Can't wait for Cassandra Clare's new series, but now I'm reading Pandemonium from the Delirium series.

Hey Alexandra, was it a light read? I'm looking for a book that makes me smile at the end. :)
