I liked Marion being an independent, career driven woman ahead of her time, but other than that they just didn’t really stand out. The characters in the novel were probably the least interesting part of the story for me. All the various genres were really well woven together into the story. This book is part mystery (obviously in the form of the murder), but also part historical fiction (it takes place in London after WWII), with just a sprinkle of magic/sci-fi (alchemy). Bonus: there’s also some really cool detective gadgets the characters utilize! The other thing I like that is in this book is genre crossing (meaning a book falls under multiple genres). That might sound claustrophobic, but it really doesn’t feel that way because there is this sense of vastness to the tunnels. This book has an underground, labyrinth like setting. The first one is mysteries where there are secret passageways and/or hidden rooms and compartments. It combines a couple of things I have mentioned previously as enjoying in books. I completely understand why this book was picked for me.
