Perfect for you if...

You love Victorian settings with a magical twist and want Sherlock Holmes vibes but with a female lead who actually uses supernatural powers.
You're drawn to gaslamp fantasy with smart heroines who refuse to play by society's rules, especially when tea and witty banter are involved.
You appreciate mysteries that blend genuine detective work with occult intrigue, without veering into gothic romance or paranormal softness.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your Victorian fiction grounded entirely in historical realism with no magical elements whatsoever.
You prefer slow-burn romance as the emotional spine of your story. Alex's personal connections matter, but this is a thriller first.
You want a standalone novel. This is clearly the first in a series, so you'll be left with loose threads and unresolved world-building.

About this book

On Christmas Eve 1879, forensic psychic reader Alexandrina Victoria Pendlebury is called from her Baker Street residence to investigate a death. Named after her godmother, Queen Victoria, Alex believes the death is a magically compromised murder rather than the suicide the police have concluded. After a shocking discovery at the scene, she sets aside her personal grief to investigate the deeper threat at hand. Alex enlists help from Lieutenant Brooks, Lord Desmond, and her cousin James to use her magical and mental abilities to uncover a shadowy danger threatening Queen and Country. The investigation involves cloaked assassins, family complications, and dark magic in this Victorian urban fantasy set in an alternate London.
