This is a mystery. And book number four in a series. I don't read mysteries, and I don't start in the middle of a series. But – dad gum – I enjoyed this!

Victorian England historical fiction, set in Cambridge, involving a missing Shakespearean actress, the Charles Darwin family, prostitution, social classes, scientific advances, boating, a bookstore, and a female detective. It was a good, fun, little mystery and I'll definitely look for the earlier books in this series. (
