Publisher's Summary

Lady Alexia Maccon, soulless, is at it again, only this time the trouble is not her fault. When a mad ghost threatens the queen, Alexia is on the case, following a trail that leads her deep into her husband's past. Top that off with a sister who has joined the suffragette movement (shocking!), Madame Lefoux's latest mechanical invention, and a plague of zombie porcupines and Alexia barely has time to remember she happens to be eight months pregnant.

Will Alexia manage to determine who is trying to kill Queen Victoria before it is too late? Is it the vampires again or is there a traitor lurking about in wolf's clothing? And what, exactly, has taken up residence in Lord Akeldama's second best closet?

Another fun book in the series!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. it had humour, drama, and as usual the voice actor was great! I found a couple spots of the book to be a little slower but I knew the story would come together in the end and the acting and the jokes kept me going! I love the universe that the author has created and I am excited to start the next series that follows Prudence.

Book4 continues to be Just The Thing

Still loving this series.. The story continues, and continues to be what I enjoy. Just the right balance of prim and proper, of intrigue and fun, of characters evolving, and, don't forget, steampunk tech.
