I kept feeling like I had read this for at least the first 1/3 of the book. Loved Nicholas throughout but never cared much for Emily who came across as shallow.

Liked the Bow Street Runner parts but it did increase the violence within the book. I'd say the book is half mystery with some romance. I didn't like how Wren's story was handled. Religious aspects were better integrated in this one than in The Captive Heart.

More detail with attempted rape than I wanted to read. 13 pages before the end Nicholas concludes all that happened but you have no idea how he figured out the details.
