An excellent mix of alternate history and spy story, it's highly entertaining and gripping.
Excellent world building and character development, a solid story that kept me hooked.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Steam punk meets modern spy fiction! The reimagining of Victorian England cleverly opened the door for the author to leverage the strengths of the characters in ways which would not have been possible has this been a straight historical fiction. By taking the characters and placing them in an altered - but completely credible - context, an additional appeal is added. The characters are great, the plot challenging and the writing style beautiful.

This book is interesting.
I found myself plunged into a slightly different world, which made complete sense because why would Victorian women not be able to tap telegraph signals and escape in air ships.
So a sort of James Bond in steam punk Victorian London on a chase to catch the Ripper.
Derrying do and great fun.
