I had to check out the novellas too. I also kind of felt it worked well on its own. Yes I have read the two previous books, but there was a nice explanation. But obviously you should start at book 1 because it is so good.




This one takes place under one night as Mallory spies on Alice, the young maid as she disappears into the night and Mallory is sure something is wrong. And then she has a whole adventure as something really sinister is going on.




Drama and danger promised.




But, you call Molotov cocktails Russian?!! Excuse me, we named them after a Russian to kill  Russians with them. Because he was an ass. The end.




A short listen too! I love those





For modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson, being trapped in the body of a Victorian housemaid means overcoming endless obstacles. Her current challenge is winning over the suspicious young parlormaid, Alice. Mallory’s plan starts with teaching the girl to make Molotov cocktails, which is a perfectly valid science experiment and not at all a desperate ploy to gain Alice’s attention. Before the lesson can begin, though, Alice receives a letter that has her slipping off in the night. Concerned for her safety—and naturally curious—Mallory follows.




Mallory finds Alice at what seems like a simple dance hall, watching young men and women flirting and whirling in pretty dresses and dapper suit-coats. But nothing here is what is seems, and what starts as a simple surveillance exercise turns into a full-scale spy mission with Mallory’s boss, Dr. Duncan Gray, at her side. Before the evening is done, those Molotov cocktails are probably going to come in handy.
