2022 book 222

 Kate Saunders' The Mystery of the Sorrowful Maiden

Somehow I missed there was a new one in this series about a respectable Victorian widow who solves crimes (with a dry sense of humor). This mystery involves a scandalous group of actors, and at first it’s just financial stuff, but pretty soon a body is uncovered and there’s a murder to be solved. I will say some of the late reveals are pretty obvious, and I’m not sure how obvious some of them were supposed to be, but the mystery was solid and I did have my doubts about whether my guesses were correct. I want to give a content warning here but it’s kind of a spoiler?? B+.
