Overall, it’s an enjoyable way to pass a couple of hours. There’s a little romance there, but it doesn’t overwhelm the story. She’s waiting for true love, and hopefully Al fits the bill. She’s a tough lady, but only because she has to be. The mystery held my attention, even though I have to say I was a little disappointed in the ending, but simply it used a device that I’m not a big fan of. Al and Julia, along with an aging adventurer Horace Holly, unravel the truth. But Julia doesn’t entirely trust her, and neither does Julia’s new friend, Constable Al Grant. After all, Lady Law has caught countless criminals, including Jack the Ripper, beating Scotland Yard to the punch every time. When the famous Lady Law offers to solve the case for free, Julia can’t help but agree. Julia, airship waitress and music hall dancer, wants to discover who murdered her sister and why. I have to admit that I have a growing fondness for steampunk, and there are lots of cool details in this fun, quick read. The Mysterious Lady Law by Robert Appleton
