India Black by Carol K. CarrI really enjoyed this book! The characters are well written. The plot is very interesting and fast-paced, more of an intrigue or spy novel than a mystery. I also like how the author uses the Victorian setting. The language takes a bit getting used to, especially the Victorian slang, but it is interesting to read a book written in what is essentially another dialect of English.
The book starts off rather innocently with a regular patron, Bowser, of the brothel passing away of a heart attack and the girl he was with doing a runner. However, soon the madam, India Black, finds herself in a web of intrigue where nothing is as it seems and to save the British Empire, she needs to get the case Bowser was carrying with him back.
