1.5 to 2 STARS...rounding up due to my love of the author.

I am a huge fan of Thompson's Gaslight Mysteries and couldn't wait to start a new series. Sadly, this book was a complete disappointment. I had anticipated a cozy/mystery aspect, and there was none. The heroine was one of the most unlikable characters I've encountered in recent memory. Needless to say, I will not continue with the series.
