A Death Along the River Fleet by Susanna Calkins

4.0

I selected this for the 2017 PopSugar Ultimate Reading Challenge prompt "a book you bought on a trip." I picked this one up at a mystery conference I attended the previous year and hadn't had a chance to read it. This was the second book in the series that I've read and certainly won't be my last. The two that I've read so far worked well as stand-alones, but I look forward to reading the earlier offerings in the series to see how it all began and hope that additional books are planned. The books are set after the great fire in London in the 1600s. I've enjoyed the setting, historical elements, and the protagonist, Lucy Campion, who uses the opportunity presented by the fire to redefine her role in society. I like the fact she is not confined to a traditional role and am eager to find out if her next career move is what I think it might be based on the events of this novel.
