Review
The first in a murder mystery series set in the late 1700s in London. The storyline was interesting and the potential for character development intruging. Although you know where things will end up, there are a few details that don't get filled in until the end.

Notes
There are eleven books in this mystery series--each as engaging and intriguing as the next. The author creates nice character development as the series evolves, and the plots become less predictable and more creative. Blind Justice has some occasional bad language; as the series progresses, that seems to lessen. Murder in Grub Street (book 2) contains some very graphic murder scenes.
