This first in series historical mystery series is a very soft pick for me. It centers around the Great Exhibition of 1851 in London where a murder is committed, and the heiress/artist/inventor/exhibitor Kara Levett is accused of the crime. Niall Kier, a fellow artist/inventor/exhibitor offers to help her clear her name. As Kara‘s life is threatened, they realize there are actually two mysteries to solve…which one resulted in murder? The 🔻

robinb mysteries were fairly easy/routine to unravel, but it was the characters who saved the day. Kara was an exceptionally intelligent and interesting woman…strong and independent. Niall was a bit less fleshed-out, but the reader will no doubt discover more about his murky “past” in future books. While I wasn‘t really bowled over, I‘d give the next one a try. 3/5⭐️ 1y
