Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-12 00:00:00 Richard Mclean This is a collection I bought because I hoped to be surprised by some great unknown historical fictional characters, but I liked the ones I knew already, like sister Fidelma and Gordianus the Finder the best. There was a great new story by Kate Ross, about a woman braving the masculine madness of Victorian London, but from the introduction we learn that she died right after writing this story. Strange to find such sadness in a book to commemorate Ellis Peters contributions to the genre. She would have loved Kate Ross to triumph with a series of her own, I guess.
