Alisha's Reviews > Solving Sophronia

A fast-moving Victorian mystery with the potential for future intrigue.
Lady Sophronia writes and illustrates a society column for a London paper, but she wants a more serious position: news reporter. So when she hears about an unexplained murder in the area, she immediately puts herself front and center in the investigation, which the detective on the case does not at all appreciate. Much to his chagrin, he discovers he may need her connections and her wits to help apprehend the criminal.
Lady Sophronia and Detective Jonathan Graham work well together after some initial sparring, and the story moves along at a nice pace.
Lady Sophronia is one of a group of women who banded together during one disappointing society ball, each vowing to pursue her own particular passion in life rather than be dictated to by fashionable expectations. Although the other women are not given too much page time in this book, readers learn enough to be interested in where their stories are going next.
