review 1: Terrific book. Chloe Sullivan is an inventor in a SteamPunk version of Victorian England. Chloe is visiting her husband's sister's family in Dartmoor and the very first thing that they come across is the body of another inventor whom Chloe has been corresponding with and whom the primary suspect is the inventor's mechanical hound. Can Chloe solve the mystery before someone else is killed? What I enjoyed is how well Ms. Blackwood sets the stage and develops the characters and seamlessly blends the machines and Victorian attitudes.
review 2: This was my second steampunk novel and it was very different from the first. It is set in 1890 England and the main character is Chloe Sullivan. Chloe and her naturalist husband, Ambrose, are visiting his sister's family in t... morehe Dartmouth Moors. Chloe is skilled in building mechanical devices and has been corresponding with another enthusiast there who she is looking forward to meeting and sharing ideas. Chloe has created an amusing mechanical cat as her companion, but the other woman has created a more advanced hound with a high tech power source that Chloe very much wants to examine. Upon arrival she is shocked and saddened to find that her friend has been murdered. The main suspects of the local police are the husband and the hound. Chloe makes it her mission to find out who murdered her friend and to find the hound before the police can destroy it. less
