Review: Case of the Girl in Grey

 * Book 2 in the Wollstonecraft Detective Agency Series *

Their first case was supposed to be kept secret, but right now the detective agency is the worst kept secret in London. Everyone wants the girls to solve a case for them.

A woman visits Ada with concern for her niece and her upcoming marriage.

Mary sees a strange girl running through the park in the rain.

When both girls visit their new client, Mary believes their cases may be connected.

But will the agency be right a second time or was the first time just a fluke?

My Thoughts: Another fun historical mystery based on The Woman in White. More sisters appear, adding chaos, annoyance, and some good ideas to the mix. Although I did have a hard time keeping track of them. Favorite characters return. Great illustrations. I like how the agency seems to help out younger women. I'm looking forward to see who they help out next. 

At the end of the book, historical notes are found, which I quite enjoyed. Including some of the differences between this book and The Woman in White. 

Cover Thoughts: Fantastic

Library Recommendation: Highly recommended for both schools and public libraries for their Children's Collections.

Mini Review: Case of the Missing Moonstone

Lady Ada Byron commands the household as the only person of rank, with her mother off visiting and her father dead. She's not thrilled about a new tutor. But when the new tutor brings along a student, she has somewhat of a change of heart.

When she meets Mary Godwin, she finds her first friend. Together, the girls even each other out. They start coming up with schemes - one of them is to start a detective agency, which they do.

Lady Ada is quite particular about which case they choose, but once she hears about the missing moonstone, she can't wait to solve it.

The Good:
Lady Ada and her inventions
Lady Ada ruling the house
Lady Ada and her interactions with Mary

Charles, the invisible boy who reads
Lady Ada discovering the truth about her tutor
Victorian Era
All the STEM in the book
The Ladies Detective Agency
Solving the case

The chase
That ending!

The Bad:
Nitpicking here, but historical impossible to happen with the difference in ages between the two.

Final Thoughts: I'm looking forward to the second book in this series!
