Book Description:
There’s Often a Fine Line Between a Criminal and a Saint
Constable Jackson Forge intends to make the world safer, or at least the streets of Victorian London. But that’s Kit Turner’s domain, a swindler who runs a crew that acquires money the old-fashioned way—conning the rich to give to the poor. When a local cab driver goes missing, Jackson is tasked with finding the man, and the only way to do that is by enlisting Kit’s help. If Jackson doesn’t find the cabby, he’ll be fired. If Kit doesn’t help Jackson, he’ll arrest her for thievery. Yet neither of them realize those are the least of their problems.
My Review:
Constable Forge has a good heart that gets him into trouble. Kit has the wiles
of a fox. The pair set out to solve a crime in the City of London. Griep sets
the scene in this mystery, with quirky characters, dodgy streets, and historical
description. Jackson and Kit don't know who to trust, so they have to depend on
instinct and faith, as they search for the brain behind the crimes. If you
enjoy stories set in the Victorian era, you'll want to read The Thief of Blackfriars Lane. I admire the tenacity of Kit and the dogged
determination of Constable Forge. Join them as they track the missing cabbie.
