Thursday, October 10th, 2019 08:09 am2019/107: The Ratcatcher's Daughter -- KJ Charles
A delightful romance between a small-time criminal and a music-hall singer, set two years before Any Old Diamonds, and featuring cameos by characters from Charles' 'Sins of the Cities' trilogy. (I'm pretty sure Miss Christiana lives in Clem's lodging-house; her boss is definitely Pen Starling.)
( minor spoilers for themes and characters )
