Publisher's summary

For modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson, being trapped in the body of a Victorian housemaid means overcoming endless obstacles. Her current challenge is winning over the suspicious young parlormaid, Alice. Mallory’s plan starts with teaching the girl to make Molotov cocktails, which is a perfectly valid science experiment and not at all a desperate ploy to gain Alice’s attention. Before the lesson can begin, though, Alice receives a letter that has her slipping off in the night. Concerned for her safety—and naturally curious—Mallory follows.

Mallory finds Alice at what seems like a simple dance hall, watching young men and women flirting and whirling in pretty dresses and dapper suit-coats. But nothing here is what is seems, and what starts as a simple surveillance exercise turns into a full-scale spy mission with Mallory’s boss, Dr. Duncan Gray, at her side. Before the evening is done, those Molotov cocktails are probably going to come in handy.

Note this is not a full-length novel. It's a novella set between The Poisoner's Ring and Disturbing the Dead

Quick read that packs a punch!

The writing in this series is consistently great, and I’m always drawn in by the mysteries—it’s no different here! This novella, set between books 2 and 3, is a suspenseful treat. Mallory’s curiosity is piqued when she sees Alice receive a mysterious letter. Following Alice, she ends up in a shadowy part of town and uncovers a troubling situation involving Alice’s sister and other young women. The tension builds as Mallory dives deeper into the mystery. It’s a quick read that packs a punch, and I highly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed!

Such a fun little adventure!

Huge thanks to the author for a free copy of the audiobook! It's always a good day when I get a Kelley Armstrong book for review :)

One of my favorite things about Kelley Armstrong is the way she just keeps gifting us with these awesome novellas. And seeing as I listened to the first two books in this series (and really enjoyed the narrator), I was hoping the novella would come out in that format soon.

What a fun little adventure! This was a quick story with a breakneck pace. The action starts on page one, and it really didn't stop. There were also some great little character moments, and I really enjoyed seeing another side of Alice and her backstory.

I'm so glad I got to read this right in time before I got my copy of the third book. This series is such a fun blend of historical fiction, mystery, and adventure, and I can't get enough.

As good as the full novels.

I loved learning more about Alice's backstory. This story handles the topic of women being exploited with care.
