Love all the characters and the different plot lines!  Sometimes the book gets a little "preachy" and it feels like the author is trying to educate readers on religion and social tolerance.  I just want a good mystery!  For the most part, this book delivers just that!  Thank you, Joanna!

The character development is well done and the plot interesting and not predictable. And the interaction of the dog characters is fresh and captivating. I enjoyed all 3 books of the series. The dog characters are a new element to me and I really enjoyed seeing the plot develop through their eyes. Buy the series and enjoy something fun and different.

I do love this series on so many levels.  I love that the proof readers do an outstanding job, I love the intelligence of the writing, the depth of character of all the characters, the pure originality of so much of the plot.  Never would have dreamed we would see human beings turning into some of the toxic animals they consumed (trying to avoid spoilers),or so many other great plot points.  I have to say I was laughing so hard at the Kenn and the feral bunnies incident I had tears pouring down my face.  I love too the change, gradual as it is, in Kenn.  Things I'm not so fond of; I don't like the way the non Eagle survivors are constantly referred to as the herd.  This implies they are less than the Eagles, who come across as almost super beings, and yet they are all survivors, and deserve respect as such; the never ending attempts at romance and the knock backs by the women.  Yes, we get it, time to move that along now; and while I do like Angie, she is still in grave danger of becoming the all-perfect Mary Sue character, and she and this wonderful story deserve better.  GREAT decision though to cut the Pitcairne story and characters for their own book.  I'll be around in a year's time, loitering with intent waiting for the next part.

I like all the mysteries in this series! This one is my favorite. I love how the author takes her time and develops the story slowly - such a treat to find mysteries that I can't read in one sitting. The characters are complex and unique. Can't wait for the next one.

I have fallen in love with both the plot, the "new" land and the characters.  What an imagination to share with the rest of us.  Well done!!

Love the story line and love all the characters.  I want to move there.  If you've every wanted revenge of the other woman, this is a great book.

I love  that there are so many characters  and  there's so much going on with each of them....at the same time. The story line is juicy.

I am hooked on all these colourful characters and cannot decide what I like best, the quick and enjoyable read, the ease of visualising the characters and their amazing retro clothes, the mystery of solving everyday type crimes and so far not a murder or body is mentioned. Love Grandmother Rosa and how she chooses to "pop" in. So many colourful and untapped characters that I eagerly await their part in the next story. Appreciating the balance of living the dream of the open road in a gypsy caravan whilst balancing the corporate world of sales and sibling rivalry. Great story lines and very well written.

I am addicted to these stories. Can't wait for the next book. Love the characters and story lines. The books are well researched and well written. The stories are snippets of what life was like during Victorian times in New York City.  The fact that I have read all the books in the series helps you to feel that you know the characters and their lives and relationships with each other.  Once you start reading Victoria Thompson you will not be able to stop until you have gone through the whole series.

Love the evolving storyline with everyone aging and having to make unexpected alliances. As usual the plot twists and turns continue to be jaw dropping and OOoooOoo inspiring.

Love everything about this series. The characters are well thought out and fun. The settings are so well described, you feel as if you are actually there.  I love the tough but vulnerable heroine, Jessa.  I also really enjoy the play between Jessa and her Compasses.  Well done! Looking forward to the next book!

This is a great read.  The characters are interesting and unique the only fomulatic characters are those intentially done that way to make fun of that very fact and are so over the top they are even funnier.

The plot is not some light throw-a-way thing that someone came up with in an afternoon, even veteran readers will not be able to predict the directions this book takes which is grand fun for me.

I cannot say enough good about this series.  Definitely one of my favorites.
