Synopsis

This history-mystery series continues with another fine display of brains and bravery from the Wollstonecraft Girls Ada Bryon Lovelace and Mary Shelley. Inspired fun for middle grade readers and fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Lemony Snicket! The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency was supposed to be a secret constabulary, but after the success of their first case, all of London knows that Lady Ada and Mary are the girls to go to if you have a problem. Their new case is a puzzle indeed. It involves a horrible hospital, a missing will, a hasty engagement, and a suspiciously slippery servant. But Mary s stumbled onto a mystery of her own. She spotted a ghostly girl in a grey gown dashing through the park. A girl who is the spitting image of their new client. The two cases must be linked . . . or else there s a perfectly supernatural explanation."

3.5 STARS! Though a little better than the first book, this still was just as predictable as the first. I enjoyed the whole "Is it supernatural or not?" vibe that was going on but it still left me going "Okay, that was alright." I wanted to be WOW'd like I was with Wild Boy and this didn't do that fo......more

Goodreads review by Shandy on February 25, 2016

I've been thinking about what makes a five-star book for me, and I finally hit on it while reading this one. All of my five-star books, from Anna Karenina to The Countess Conspiracy, have one thing in common: they all just make my heart sing. I don't know who looks at the Shelley circle and thinks "......more

Goodreads review by Amy H. on January 29, 2016

I thoroughly fell in love with the first book in The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency series, The Case of the Missing Moonstone, and The Case of the Girl in Grey is a delightful sequel. Again Jordan Stratford brings together the mother of modern science fiction, Mary Shelley, and the world's first co......more
