Publisher's summary

February 1816: A race through the icy, twisting cobblestone streets of London ends inside an abandoned church - and a horrific discovery. Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly is called to investigate the grisly murder of Sir Giles Holbrooke, who was left naked and garroted, with his tongue cut out. Yet as perplexing as that crime is, it becomes even stranger when symbols that resemble crosses mysteriously begin to appear across the dead man's flesh during autopsy. Is it a message from the killer?

Sam turns to the one person in the kingdom who he believes can answer that question and solve the bizarre murder - the Duke of Aldridge's odd but brilliant ward, Kendra Donovan.

While Kendra has been trying to adapt to her new life in the early 19th century, she is eager to use her skills as a 21st-century FBI agent again. And she will need all her investigative prowess, because Sir Giles was not an average citizen. He was one of England's most clever spymasters, whose life had been filled with intrigue and subterfuge.

Love this whole series

McElwain has a way of making each book have its own story, while still having an overarching theme.

Good story choppy transitions

The transitions seemed a little choppy and were distracting.
One minute they are at a ball walking down a hallway talking and three paragraphs later they are in a handsome cab.
This happened multiple times,

I'm enjoying the series

I'm enjoying the series. It can be a little over the top on the women's liberation theme, but the overall read is enjoyable.

Words mispronounced constantly

I would think that someone would edit the narrator and his or her pronunciation. I almost quit listening to this book, despite the fact that I was enjoying the series. I can’t express how I feel about this problem. It happens more than it should.

Could be better

Although I enjoyed the first two books, I was disappointed in this one. Constant crime and not enough romance. Kendra makes a LOT of bad choices for someone who’s so smart. Ended abruptly and left me hanging. Does she ever get home, or even try?
