Why read it?

1 author picked The Werewolf of Whitechapel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love how Rowntree riffs on real history while keeping the tone thrilling and funny. The "Miss Sharp’s Monsters" series is set in the Bete Epoque (a late Victorian Europe ruled by monsters), and Liz Sharp is a lovably reckless amnesiac bodyguard to an English princess.

I would absolutely want Liz on my side if our tea party were attacked. I’d pour the tea and let her take care of the monsters.

From Christina's list on gaslamp heroines with tea and adventures.
