This is the first book in the Lizzie Martin series. Set in mid-Victorian London with its dense fogs, Peelers and constant redevelopment, Lizze Martin gets drawn into a murder mystery on her arrival in the capital. An old acquaintance from Derbyshire, Inspector Benjamin Ross, is leading the investigation into the murder of her predecessor as companion to Mrs Parry. This is an interesting read, and quite evocative of mid-Victorian London although I spotted the murderer quite early on in the book.
