Case of the Girl in Grey (the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, Book 2)
Case of the Girl in Grey (the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, Book 2) | Jordan Stratford
5 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
This history-mystery series continues with another fine display of brains and bravery from the Wollstonecraft Girls Ada Bryon Lovelace and Mary Shelley. Inspired fun for middle grade readers and fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Lemony Snicket! The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency was supposed to be a secret constabulary, but after the success of their first case, all of London knows that Lady Ada and Mary are the girls to go to if you have a problem. Their new case is a puzzle indeed. It involves a horrible hospital, a missing will, a hasty engagement, and a suspiciously slippery servant. But Mary s stumbled onto a mystery of her own. She spotted a ghostly girl in a grey gown dashing through the park. A girl who is the spitting image of their new client. The two cases must be linked . . . or else there s a perfectly supernatural explanation."

I read this Aug 18-24 & rated it 3.5 ⭐️. I liked it enough to pick up the third book. I did find the addition of Jane and Allegra a bit distracting from Ada and Mary. As well the story was a bit too rushed. But it was a fun read. In some ways, I find these stories to be similar to the John Bellairs books that I grew up and I kind of wish I had these books growing up.

Another excellent mystery featuring the Wollstonecraft Detectives! It was quite the interesting plot. I will definitely listen to this audiobook again!

Currently listening to number 2 in the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency series. I'm really enjoying this middle-grade series and the character of Lady Ada in particular.

I love girl detective stories and liked this use of historical characters - intelligent, AMAZING girls from history. Didn't mind the liberties with ages and facts (and they were all set straight in the endnotes), but too often the prose was... distractingly awkward.
