Decent historical murder mystery

3 stars

A fairly light and entertaining read. I especially enjoyed the historical setting of Victorian San Francisco. It started off a bit slow and I was pleasantly surprised how well the ending gathered speed and wrapped things up, even if the culprit wasn't much of a surprise. Good enough that I'll probably read more in this series when I'm in the mood for a light and entertaining story.
