Summary
Gower Street, 1883: March Middleton is the niece of London's greatest (and most curmudgeonly) personal detective, Sidney Grice. March has just discovered a wealthy long-lost relative she never knew she had. When this newest family member meets with a horrible death, March is in the frame for murder, and only Sidney Grice can prove her innocence.

great to have less than perfect /beautiful protagonists. a plot full of twists and turns, one box within another...eventually dragging me in. somewhat less humour than in earlier books. would. happily.listen to further adventures of Grice and March....have they been written yet.

Gripping stuff!
Loved it, down to the last sentence.You will fall in love with all the characters, down to the cheeky maid. Funny, entertaining & beautiful. Emerse yourself in Victorian London, it's rookeries, street children, transport woes & moral ambiguity.

Almost gave up....
....but stick with it until it gets to Sidney Grice narrative. Then you are rewarded.
March was really starting to annoy me and and really struggled with this one. However, Once Sidney takes over it really takes a turn for the better.
So happy I stuck with it, as in the end it was a really good story, even if it it was a little predictable (unlike the others)

Too much waffling
This is not cozy crime by any stretch of the imagination. Very detailed gore and way too much waffling about it. I like this series but this is not my favourite book.

This series keeps getting better.
I couldn't make up my mind whether I liked this book or not for the first quarter, but having read the previous two I stuck with it and was not disappointed.
If you love Sherlock Holmes you will LOVE this series. There is more wit and humour created by the unlikely pairing of Mr Grice and March Middleton, but it is tempered by glimpses of the 'Dickensian' underbelly of Victorian London.
A superb read!

The Best Yet in the Series
Given how unlikeable the main character is means that those around him must not only make up for his deficiencies but also help the reader find some redemption in him. This is the first book in the series I have read that has achieved that feat. please read the first two books but this is the one that will make you eager for the next tale.

Not what I expected
In a somewhat dramatic departure from previous novels the writer took to exploring madness in an extremely interesting way.
Yes there are still murders to solve and mysteries to be understood but there was a lot of character development in this book and a great deal of background story revealed.
I think I can foresee the character that March is to become.

Interesting story, great reader
The end was not as clear as I would have needed, I am not sure if I understood everything. But apart from that the story was very interesting, with good characters. The reader did an amazing job, doing several voices and even singing!

Another masterpiece of writing and reading
Emma Gregory has done another creditable performance reading the third of M R C Kasasian's Sidney Grice/March Middleton's stories which again did not disappoint with its plot, twists, description, language and humour.
