review 1: This was a fun romp by a great sci-fi writer. She was taken from us much too soon. This book is related to Baker's Company series, but not really a sequel. It centers on the female "leg" of the GSS - a house of ill-repute called Nell Gwynne's. But...this is not your ordinary house of ill-repute! :) Who but Kage Baker could make this really work? I love her wit and sense of humor and this book is dripping with it.
review 2: So, this book is a little strange. I don't know how I came across it, but I'm glad I tried it. Overall, it's ok. I liked the steampunk aspect, and the characters in general, but I also felt that the scene where the guy comes with all of his gadgets was a bit silly (among other things), and the characters aren't the most likable or enjoyab... morele people in the world. It's a fun romp, just don't take it too seriously or expect too much. The world isn't described in copious amounts of detail, the mystery isn't earth shattering, but it's still enjoyable to read, and quick. less
