Product Description
Duelling, derring-do, and dastardly deeds are all in a day's work for Liberty Lane: a new heroine for fans of Matthew Hawkwood and Sarah Waters's Victorian novels. The Augustus theatre likes to put on a good show. But when a public spat erupts between two dancers on the London stage, it comes to a dramatic conclusion that definitely wasn't part of the script: one dead, the other arrested for murder. As far as the jury's concerned, it's an open-and-shut case, but Liberty Lane believes otherwise. Soon she's leading her own investigation, in a desperate race against the hangman's noose. And while the criminal underworld may be no place for a lady, there's no place for a criminal to hide once Liberty's on the case!

Format:Paperback
I discovered this book by chance in our English bookshop in Zurich. It is very entertaining, lively and well-written. Set in Victorian times with a spirited lady detective, Liberty Lane, it's an antidote to all the gory forensic investigations around nowadays.
Format:Kindle Edition
I absolutely loved this excellent novel of murder and intrigue in Victorian London. Liberty Lane, the heroine at the heart of the story is an enchanting character - independent, feisty, compassionate and extremely intelligent - but the story is peopled with believable and engaging characters, including Disraeli. The setting in Victorian London is portrayed on a rich and detailed canvas by the skilled Caro Peacock. No cliches, ingenious plot which kept me guessing until the end and a cast of colourful characters - a brilliant read.

I have enjoyed everything Caro Peacock has written, so won't comment on individual books. She used to write as Gillian Linscott, which is when I came across her, her style is informative, well researched, moves along at a pace and is very readable, something I think is very important. I can always tell on the first page if I am going to read a book through.
