I'm glad Johnson came through on so many points, but I'd probably find the (lack of) romance disappointing as well. I usually do. :)<br />Great review!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994892116944894947.post-46653294615534098042013-02-20T21:04:29.744+00:002013-02-20T21:04:29.744+00:00Rory sounds like a great character!

It's awesome to know that Johnson didn't shy away from the details of the Ripper cases.

I thought everywhere had blue-tack. What do they have instead? <br /><br />I'll be adding this to my list of books to read, great review! :)Livvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441931016080817720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994892116944894947.post-88742677269509655882013-02-17T16:43:33.211+00:002013-02-17T16:43:33.211+00:00I have this one, Aa'Ishah, I just never got ar...I have this one, Aa'Ishah, I just never got around to reading it. The mystery aspect to it really grabbed me, but I didn't know she was an American in London and that makes me want to read it more. I have no idea what Blue Tak is or the Underground. I'm visiting London very soon. I'll be there in less than a month, so maybe I'll get to find out about some of this stuff. Wonderful review my dear! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994892116944894947.post-66499807013559990122013-02-17T13:41:12.809+00:002013-02-17T13:41:12.809+00:00Great review Aa'Ishah!

I didn't really connect with the romance either, it just kind of...happened, but the book was still pretty good :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943851686264137671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994892116944894947.post-88648905646013450122013-02-17T12:57:44.831+00:002013-02-17T12:57:44.831+00:00It's a shame about the romance, but I'm gl...It's a shame about the romance, but I'm glad the rest of it worked really well for you! I think I'll have to pick this up sooner rather than later, especially with the Ripper theme. And like I said on Goodreads, I'm glad Rory is a likeable and funny character. She sounds like someone I'll probably get along with just fine. :)Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994892116944894947.post-764887965091675642013-02-16T23:22:01.631+00:002013-02-16T23:22:01.631+00:00I've been meaning to read this book for awhile...I've been meaning to read this book for awhile since I want to read something by Maureen Johnson as well, so I'm thrilled you enjoyed this so much! :) Fantastic review, Aa'Ishah!
