Richard

Sophie Drake is the best thing to happen to law enforcement since the Bow Street Runners. Short, smart, fast, and dedicated, she grabs the case in her teeth like a bulldog and doesn’t let go. I look forward to more stories in the future. A beautiful addition to the canon of crime.

I haven’t read the rest of this series, but if this is any indication, I look forward to the next book. Written with a sharp tongue, I blew through this book. Good read!
