A Curious Beginning

I enjoyed this and am looking forward to the next in the series. The character Veronica is great fun but seems so modern in her attitudes towards sex that it always seems a little out of place with the victorian setting. The first part of this book was cooking, it moved so fast and light, but then in the second act we got to the circus and the book felt like it came to a stop. It picked up again in the third but I was always a little bummed about how much time was spent at the circus. Still, I enjoyed the interaction between the protagonists and have no hesitation about reading the next one right away.
