The Queen's Accomplice

I took way too long to read this to no fault of this book. I have been working ridiculous hours and squeezing in a page or two before falling asleep each night.

The plot was definitely more of a traditional mystery than other stories and a “Jack the Ripper” plot, though it may have some historical accuracy was a little bit well-tread territory in the mystery genre.

It did however set up several plot points for future storylines throughout the book so readers of previous and future Maggie Hope mysteries should enjoy the book for the threads being laid.

The method by which the author got Maggie set -up for the next book was a bit of a stretch but I'll let it go. She also sprung back from the trauma of her encounter a serial killer and being drugged with a bit too much pluck but again... writer's liberty.
