The Case of the Girl in Grey
Wollstonecraft Detective Agency Book 2
by Jordan Stratford
from the publisher's site:
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.

my thoughts:
The first book in this series got me hooked and book two did not disappoint. The mystery was fast-paced enough to keep me turning the pages, and there were even some hints about connections back to their first case (I'm thinking I may need to re-read that one already). As an adult, my favorite part though, is probably the historical notes at the end. I really enjoy knowing which aspects of the story really happened and which ones Stratford took creative liberties with for the sake of a good story. If you or your children enjoy historical mysteries then you should definitely check out The Case of the Girl in Grey.
