This was a good short story set in Victorian Times... Very short -less than 50 pages - but an enjoyable quick read.

It's ok but I am glad it was short and free. While it's a quick read, the premise is strange and the characters not ver believable.

Relatively predictable plot for any seasoned reader of mystery, but it was everything a short story is supposed to be. We do not get a full introduction to the characters, but this is to be expected. The pacing was perfect and it left me wanting more. I may have to get the novel now.

While the plot is pretty transparent for any seasoned reader of mysteries, this is a quick fun read and a great introduction both to the author and her world. I'm excited to read the series and get to know these characters better.

This is a mystery set in the Victorian era about a widow, her son, and dog. It makes you want to further explore the different characters in the book. A good short read.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I'm not into mysteries at all but I've got to say that I just couldn't put it down. It's a great start into the world of mysteries. Especially if you like the Victorian Era. Contains no blood or gore.

really short, 46 pages long. I don't feel like I got to know the characters well enough or that the plot really took me very far. Would have liked it to be a full book and more behind it.

Overview
In the fall of 1879, San Francisco swelters under a heat wave while Barbara Hewitt, a reserved school-teacher, uncovers a mystery with the help of Dandy, her son's Boston terrier. This short story is set in the Victorian gas-lit world of Annie Fuller and her O'Farrell Street boarding house that Locke writes about in her historical mysteries, Maids of Misfortune, Uneasy Sprits, and Bloody Lessons.
