The 8th book in this Victorian mystery series. This book features Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as the "real life" character included in the story line. This series offers and interesting view into Victorian life, the development of forensic sciences and the difficulty in getting forensic science accepted as evenidence in the courts of the day.

Another great read in this series. Again, I enjoy the introduction of "new" crime solving techniques, and in this book, it was fingerprinting. Quite funny that fingerprinting was seen as unreliable!!
The usual strong female leads, intelligent conversations and clues, and Sir Doyle makes another appearance!

Another great book from Robin Paige. I love that they weave in real people that lived during that era, the history of Dartmoor Prison and the beginnings of fingerprinting in England. I'm making my way through this series and continue to love every book so far.

This book was much more interesting than some of the previous novels in this series. I was losing interest in this series, but had this one on hand and decided to read it. I am glad that I did. The characters are much more developed and they and the plot are more realistic than some of the previous "Death at..." books.
