Such an amazing 2nd book that just made me fall even more in love with these incredible characters, writing, & story. Loved the direction this one took, all the twists & turns. Some amazing acts at the theatre in here, new amazing characters to meet, including a whole new amazing cast of suspects to go with the incredible new murder mystery. This one kept me guessing, & I had to keep reading. Loved this so much. Another BEAUTIFUL cover by Jez Tuya too.💜

When I first picked this book up I only briefly looked at it so didn't see that it was part of the series. Annoyingly this was the second and I had not read the 1st so when I first started reading it felt as if you were drowning in characters !! At one point I did think of giving up reading because it was very confusing but I am so glad i didn't !! A very enjoyable book (perfect for winter nights) ;) and I am SO glad Lydia was caught !

More dastardly deeds and Victorian music hall antics as Rose Campion suspects there's more to the theft of a precious blue diamond than meets the eye.
