Libby Seale is a seamstress at the Portland Variety creating works of art for the various performers there. She become friends with the magician's assistant, Vera, and vows to learn the truth when Vera is murdered. With the help of a handsome reporter, Peter, she starts to dig into the mystery of the young women disappearing from the growing city of Portland. Libby is pretty non-traditional for 1894 and Peter is attracted to her intelligence and determination. Naturally, there is peril as the two come up against some of the most important men in the city. It's a fun mystery with a budding romance in the background. This is the first book in the Libby Seale series. I look forward to reading more.
