This was an easy read; I was attracted by the cover and the title. The author is the granddaughter of Chinese and Korean Immigrants and she writes mystery thrillers. The story is a fantasy revolving around historical and made up people during the time that Great Britain was involved in the Opium war with China. Very interesting story; Charlotte witnesses a murder finds herself in a world that she had never experienced before. There is danger, romance and plenty of tense action as Charlotte and her sisters help solve what becomes a national crises.
