Other reviewers have done a much better job than I could describing each book in detail. For under $10 I was very pleased to receive 3 fairly well-written books. These are great stories for curling up and enjoying some light reading. The series starts out more as mystery and by the third book is definitely more romance, but all 3 are very enjoyable. Definitely recommend if Victorian mystery/romance is your thing, especially since the price can't be beat!
