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.

another great book
The series continues to get better and better. This author really puts together characters that both make you smile and tear your hair out in frustration. I can not recommend this book and the rest of the series enough.

Not as good as the previous stories - sadly disconnected in style
I enjoyed listening to this series of stories until this book. The story started well like the previous two but halfway through it felt like the author had got tired of writing the characters and therefore the narrative became broken up with different styles and 'publisher' interjections. I stuck with it in the hope that it got better but it bounced from one twist to the next, with the author seeming to have so little interest in each one and moving on quickly. A real disappointment.

I did not realise this was the third book in the series but it was a story complete on its own. A qwerty mystery and quite entertaining if a little gruesome in places

Great story, masterful narration!
This is the third of the Gower Street Series, equally perplexing and wonderfully narrated by Emma Gregory.

Yes great fun and clever

Laugh out load on numorous occasions. And joy these books are pure joy.

.
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.
