In 1885, Lord Richard Marbury, a liberal stalwart in Parliament, sends his young daughter Alicia to Brighton to spend her vacation with his old professor, The Reverend Charles Dodgson. Alicia, however, is kidnapped from the train platform in Brighton by her father's political enemies. A chance meeting with a young doctor on his honeymoon, one Arthur Conan Doyle, results in this unlikely duo working to rescue Alicia from a most unpleasant fate.
I picked up an ARC copy of this book cheap at a library sale. I like books set in the Victorian era and I like history mysteries but I was somewhat worried about the author using Charles Dodgson and Arthur Conan Doyle together as characters. As it turned out, it wasn't as bad as some of the other mysteries of that kind that I've read and better than most.
