121. The Body at the Tower - Y.S. Lee

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/P/0763656437.01._SX450_SY635_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

Genre: Period Mystery

Rating: Very Good

My last read for 2014.

This is the second book in the series The Agency.

Mary Quinn works for an all woman agency who hires out for detective and spy work in Victorian London.

Mary is a girl from the streets who was trained by the agency. She uses her street smarts to good effect.

In this outing, Mary is undercover as a boy hired as a gofer at a building site in London, trying to understand how one of the workers fell to his death from the bell tower where Big Ben is being installed.

Intriguing character development and likable main characters. London, and its poor are their own characters in the series.
