I'm a major fan of Lene Kaaberbol. This series is completely different from her other mystery series, and also from her fantasy books. The only elements that remain the same are that it is well-written, a very gripping story, and she is clearly a feminist. The details of the crime in this one are pretty odd, and a little over the top, that's why I didn't give it 5 stars. I felt she didn't need to make it that complex. But I'm very excited about this series. If you like watching Murdock Mysteries, this one may remind you of that (only with Dr. Julia Ogden as the main character.) The book seems true to the time period (the 1890s) and interesting for both people who like historical fiction and mysteries.
