This was only an issue because she didn’t come to life for me the way the other characters did. The Mysterious Lady Law’s titular character overtakes the second half of the story, as befitting her character. They’re interesting characters with unique voices and their energy buoyed the story. I liked Julia, Al, and Holly, the tale’s protagonists. Robert Appleton has penned an entertaining mystery that starts off with a bang and ends in a mostly satisfying way.

Journey into a steampunk reimagining of Victorian London in The Mysterious Lady Law. Can the two of them unearth the mysterious Lady Law’s secrets? And what will happen if they do? As Lady Law delves into the case, Julia begins to suspect that Al might have been right to warn her away from the woman. It’s an opportunity Julia can’t turn down, even though Constable Al Grant warns her that there’s something shady about Lady Law’s methods. All she knows is that the infamous Lady Law has offered to solve the case of her sister’s murder for free. None of those matter to waitress Julia Bairstow. Her one hundred percent success rate at solving crimes – even those Scotland Yard cannot find the shred of a clue on – has earned her fame, fortune, and a title.
