I was surprised by this book. I haven't liked the Melissa Scott books I've read in the past, and I'm not a big fan of the murder mystery genre, but I really enjoyed this. It was interesting, suspenseful, and had a little magic in it. It's an alternative history Victorian London where magic is taught in schools and everyone has at least some access to it. The murder mystery plot was well-devised and even though I guessed who it was early on, I enjoyed the journey in getting to the big reveal. It won the Lambda Literary Award for Sci Fi/Fantasy/Horror back in 2014.
