Eliza Mace by Sarah Burton and Jem Poster is a Victorian era who-dunnit centering on the death of Robert Mace. The narrative is told through the perspective of Robert’s daughter, Eliza Mace, a teenager trying to find her place in a male dominated world. Against her mother’s will, Eliza agrees to assist Daffyd Pritchard, a young police constable, in the investigation into her father’s death and, in doing so, unravels family secrets that have been buried for years.

The story was well written, however, it did drag on at certain parts. The ending was good but it felt very thrown together. With just a few pages dedicated to the wrap up, I would’ve liked to see more time spent on it. Knowing that it will be a series gives me hope that Eliza’s character will continue to evolve. It was a solid 3 star book.

I was very excited to read this as a fan of Enola Holmes. I can't wait to read more, definitely recommended for fans of the TV show.

Ever since the revival of Enola Holmes I’ve quite got to love this genre! I love a good historical mystery and this definitely fits the bill! I’m beyond excited to share this with readers and take our readers on a fun journey with Eliza! This would make a great movie or tv series.
