Kate Ross’ A Broken Vessel
The second Julian Kestrel mystery is a complicated one, involving a mysterious letter, an organization that reforms prostitutes, and Dipper’s sister (also a prostitute). Not to mention three suspects! Really fun and lively, despite some dark spots (check content warnings). I am really enjoying this series. A-.
Kate Ross’ Cut to the Quick
Rereading this first book in the Julian Kestrel series (about a Regency dandy!), because I finally got hold of copies of the other three and wanted to refresh my memory. This one involves Julian being asked to be the best man of a guy he’s only met once, which is intriguing, so he goes. And then he finds a dead body in his bed! I remembered bits and pieces of this and so it was still fun trying to puzzle it out. The grumpy doctor was a fave and I hope we’ll see him again.
