Very well done, editing errors, but doesn't take away from the story, IMHO. I just finished a series about Victorian England and if they thought their "toffs" were the elite, then they are sadly mistaken, they don't even hold a candle to the so called "nobs" of NY society. What an ugly bunch they are and Sarah's treatment by her parents is typical. Book very historically sound and much like others I have read over the years about high society at this time. The story also proves that there is nothing new under the sun and depravity has existed throughout the ages. It is a great mystery and moves right along. The characters are great to read about, having their own stories as a background for the primary story. Look forward to the next one am anxious to see how it all works out with these two very strong personalities.
