Clockwork Victoria by Barbara Russell

Amazing, so much better than books that you can see what is coming a mile away. I had no idea what was going to happen next. This is the type of book I love to read. Beatrice is a lovely character. She may be a thief, but her heart is in the right place.  She's very smart and creative in her clockwork devices she builds. I absolutely love Zenzer. Alexander the poor man, has been through a lot. However, Beatrice helps him overcome it. There are many layers to this book as the characters seek to uncover who is responsible for the murder of Alexander's friend.
