![]() ![]() After her sister’s brutal murder, Julia Bairstow finds herself the surprised recipient of the services of Lady Law, even though her new friend (and possible beau) Constable Grant doesn’t trust the famous detective. The mystery itself is fairly simple, but the steampunk setting adds a nice twist to what could have been a fairly typical Sherlock Holmesian whodunit. I finished it in a couple of hours, and keeping in mind that I was reading a novella, I enjoyed it. ![]() Everything about it is speedy, from the introduction to the mystery set up to the conclusion. As fair warning, it clocks in around 31,000 words, making it a novella as opposed to a full-length novel, so if you’re reading it expecting a novel, you’ll run into problems that really aren’t problems considering that this book is not a novel. The Mysterious Lady Law is a quick and entertaining read, placing a traditional mystery in a steampunk setting. ![]() Review: The Mysterious Lady Law by Robert Appleton ![]()
