Overflowing with heart, humor, and hyperbole, this clever romance enchants. * Publishers Weekly *Melds the Victorian wit of Sherlock Holmes with the brash adventuring of Indiana Jones . . . A sprightly feminist tale that offers everything from an atmospheric Gothic abbey to secret societies * Entertainment Weekly *A joyride of a debut . . .
