The king's magnificent palace was built in a matter of weeks. No one saw the builders, no villagers are allowed beyond the gilded gate, and only one servant has ever left. The haunted look in her eyes as she was recaptured by the palace guards is something Josie, daughter of the village doctor, has never forgotten. For Josie, the palace is a mystery that grows more intriguing after she meets the captain of the guards, a man known only as Hammer, as mysterious and captivating as the palace itself. Whispers of magic fuel Josie's desire to uncover the truth, but an ordinary girl like her can only dream of ever being invited inside.

As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her.

Twenty-six-year-old Beatrice Hyde-Clare is far too shy to investigate the suspicious death of a fellow guest in the Lake District. A spinster who lives on the sufferance of her relatives, she would certainly not presume to search the rooms of her host's son and his friend looking for evidence. Reared in the twin virtues of deference and docility, she would absolutely never think to question the imperious Duke of Kesgrave about anything, let alone how he chose to represent the incident to the local constable. And yet that's exactly what she does.

more Marian please!
Love the Glass and Steele series. Please keep India's watch and reticule story entwined. Marian Hussey is a perfect read for the series. Her consistency with voices for each person is astounding, incredibly easy to follow, and allows for the reader/listener to be immersed in another place and time.

Captivating! I received the first 6 books through the free public library. If I had waited until the beginning of the new month, I would have received 7-12 for free as well. I could not wait. I am glad I did not. I hope this goes to film. The relationships in book 11 are distinct and rich.

I have listened to all the books so far. The characters are relatable and engaging. Since the setting is in the late 19th century London, England is a bit of a departure for me, I excuse the less than impeccable grammar being spoken by the upper class characters.
