A Spy in the House by Y.S. Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a great premise this book had; female spies in Victorian England. It was fast-paced, entertaining, contained humour as well as the real struggles women had to face during a time period that is mostly represented as romantic.
The plot was just that, a spy on a mission to uncover secrets, intrigues, shifty intentions and so much more.
The characters, both main and secondary, were very well created and are capable of bringing about a range of emotions from the reader. The protagonist, a multidimensional character, is a great foundation to base a mystery series on.
The writing was good and easy to follow; however, once in a while there would be a sentence that did not make any sense at all, would feel chopped up and half finished and there are some spelling mistakes in the book as well.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story of a female spy in Victorian London and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I would recommend it to anyone, who enjoys mystery, Victorian England and females that defy the odds.
