Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences

review 1: What begins as a seemingly isolated if extremely strange occurence of a passenger disappearing in an inexplicable flash of lightning witnessed on a train journey turns out to be only one among numerous such occurences: Suffragists are vanishing without a trace, leaving behind stunned witnesses with electrical burns, and the cases are buried in the Archives with barely any attempt at investigation. Sure enough, archivist Wellington Books and his partner, disgraced former field agent Eliza Braun, begin their own investigation, leading them on a merry chase through suffragists' meetings and the London underworld to stumble on a dangerous and ambitious plot they will do their utmost to foil. Meanwhile, a former lover of Eliza's from New Zealand is in town, sparking some unexpe... morected pangs of jealousy on Welly's part... A delightful steampunk romp, great fun with great characters in a fast-paced adventure that is a joy to read from start to finish.
review 2: I love this world Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris have co-created. The steampunk elements are exciting, the action nearly nonstop and the characters feel like old friends from page one on through the remainder of the story. You can't help but realize mid-way through this story that there's nothing in the world you want more than for the two main characters to get together because they compliment one another so well.4 out of 5 stars and highly recommended for those who love steampunk, action, mystery, alternative history and mayhem. less
