Helpful Score: 2

eh, this was entertaining enough, but not great. The main character/detective is a little girl who is written as an eccentric, precocious, Wednesday Addams type. Unfortunately, instead of being charmingly strange, she falls rather flat, and is too adult to be realistic. The author doesn't do the best job of conveying his era either...instead of reading like atmospheric historical fiction, it tends to scream "look, look, I did historical research!" All in all, it is pretty good, but I'm not going to rush out and get other books in this series.
