Newbury and Hobbes

review 1: Newbury and Hobbes are back but not in total harmony. Newbury is under orders from Her Majesty to apprehend an agent turned Rogue. His friend, Charles Bainbridge cannot believe that agent has turned and expresses his views strongly to Newbury. Meanwhile Bainbridge (of Scotland Yard) has asked Sir Maurice Newbury to help with a strange case involving the disappearance of a number of women. Once Newbury had decided that there was nothing paranormal involved in that case, he dropped it. But Miss Hobbes has read the information and has become intrigued and continues to work on the case. All of London is currently fascinated by the “unwrapping” of a mummy scheduled as an evening’s entertainment. Sir Maurice attends the function and is intrigued as this is not a tra... moreditional mummy for it appears that the body was mummified while still alive. Many twists and turns have to be survived to make it to the end of the book. It was good to find that the second in a series was as interesting as the first but one wonders if Sir Maurice will accidentally kill himself in the near future if he keeps on with his drug experimentation.
review 2: Newbury and Hobbs continue their investigations in a Victorian Steampunk London in this book. This book was a bit of a disappointment as I thought there were many great ideas, but not a lot of development. The plot seemed to fall a bit flat and the climactic scene of the book was not that engaging. Overall, nowhere near as good as the first book in this series, but a very quick and easy read so no great loss of time nor effort. less
