Matilda Hayward is determined to have a career. After all, it is 1888! While reporting for the Women’s Journal newspaper, Matilda is sent to cover the visiting Freak Show and interview Mrs Anna Tufton, a giantess.

During the interview, the giantess slips a note to Matilda begging for her help to escape the show she is forced to do by her husband. But when the giantess’s husband is found murdered, the giantess is a likely suspect.

Matilda enlists the help of her lawyer brother, Amos, to prove the giantess is no killer and to free her from a life of exploitation. But close family friend, Detective Thomas Ashdown–who has had feelings for Matilda since childhood–would prefer Matilda was nowhere near his murder case. There is mystery, danger, and love afoot!

I really enjoyed reading this Story of Murder Mystery & a Little Romance. It was Light & a little slow at times. Definitely not an edge of your seat suspense but intriguing nonetheless.

The Author really gives you an in depth insight into her characters. Each different & unique in their own ways.

I absolutely loved the Hayward Family Dynamic. Their banter & love for each other really reminded me of my family.

Matilda reminds me of Nancy Drew but less troublesome lol I really like her personality & natural detective skills.

I read a long with the audiobook & the narrator did really well. There was just one thing I noticed & didn't really like was her reading was a little flat. It held no emotion where there should have been some expressed. Had me wondering if it was read by an A.I though I mean no disrespect to the narrator.

I really liked the banter & the appeal the book gave. Though I felt the murderers were a bit obvious it was still a great read.

I give it a 4 Star & look forward to reading the next book in the series.
