Lady Edith Black wasn’t always a lady. Growing up in an East
London slum in 1890, she was far more experienced than her age would suggest. Edie learned very early that survival was
paramount, all else could follow. Benji,
a very early friend, helped Edie become Lady Edith Black, a personage whose
goal was to help others.
Getting to that point in her life involved many harrowing
escapes as well as a wealth of nefarious characters. Edie discovered a well-tied cravat could be just
as criminal as a cap full of razor blades.
The story ranges from London to Australia with many interim stops for both
legitimate and stolen cargo.
A tenacious American insurance investigator, an assortment
of good fellows, both legitimate and criminal flesh out the book. Colorful
characters such as Trunk, abound.
I enjoyed the book and have already started the sequel,
Asylum Murders.
I recommend it.
