Opened this by mistake, finished it quite deliberately!
Despite early mentions of prostitutes & cutthroats this is a very sweet & satisfying mystery aimed at quite young folk. Interactive in the form of a cypher (explained past the epilogue) & encouraging of further exploration of arcane topics such as the language of flowers as well as the convoluted women’s undergarments of the era. Touches on feminism & egalitarianism & I do hope that successive books set up the young reader for some heartily bolshy thoughts, lol. Cute, I liked it.
