Following the disaster of the
Chess Queen Enigma, Mina Holmes and Evaline Stoker have tried to settle back
into their lives as young ladies of London. But when Mina receives a strange
package from a winged visitor at midnight, she is thrown into a new mysterious
adventure: the search for the Carnelian Crow. Despite warnings from Inspector
Grayling, and a personal dilemma that leaves Evaline reeling, the two ladies
know that they must stop the Ankh from completing her boldest plan yet.
With intriguing characters and a new mystery to solve, I thoroughly enjoyed
this newest installment of the Stoker & Holmes series. The main characters
are strong, independent, and intelligent ladies at a time when that was
discouraged. My favorite part of these books is the steampunk technology that
makes their world unique. With the mystery and a little romance, this is a
quick, simple read that was enjoyable and fun.
