Aug 25, Kristen rated it liked it Shelves: fun-fluffy-reads , strong-female-characters , victorian-era. This was fun. I enjoyed reading it and would read others in this series. Marianne is a strong, intelligent and independent-minded character, who is determined to live a life of her own choosing despite society wanting her to adhere to its narrow and repressed views on who and what women "ought" to be.

I loved her for that alone! The supporting characters in this are also likable and fun to know. Phoebe, despite being everything that women are supposed to be, has a cheeky side and is more than will This was fun. Phoebe, despite being everything that women are supposed to be, has a cheeky side and is more than willing to go along with schemes Marianne cooks up when needed.

She is a very good partner in crime, and I liked her a lot. Simeon is completely neurotic and nutty, but he, too is a willing assistant with Marianne's continuing adventures whenever she asks, and since Marianne returns the favour by being there for him when he needs her, it is a fair friendship and delivers some very funny dialogue between the two on both sides.

The plot was interesting and kept me engaged all the way along. Marianne's involvement in more than one crazy situation made for some funny moments and I laughed more than once reading this. This book was just a fast, fun, easy-reading story, with likable, relatable characters, silly-but-fun situations and a quick-moving enjoyable story.

I will look for more books in this series and recommend it for those who like "plucky down-on-her-luck but smart and capable" heroines getting in trouble but figuring it out.

I have now attempted to read two different series by this author and in both series I have found the lead female character to be quite boring.

In this series Marianne is a scientist interested in electricity and debunking the spiritual claims of mediums. Meanwhile she is also being followed by the mysterious Jack Monahan. I admit that I found Marianne a rather uninteresting character largely because her smarts seemed affected. Near Antonyms for willing. Antonyms for willing. Synonyms of willing Entry 2 of 2.
