This history-mystery series continues with another fine display of brains and bravery from the Wollstonecraft Girls Ada Bryon Lovelace and Mary Shelley. Inspired fun for middle grade readers and fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Lemony Snicket! The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency was supposed to be a secret constabulary, but after the success of their first case, all of London knows that Lady Ada and Mary are the girls to go to if you have a problem. Their new case is a puzzle indeed. It involves a horrible hospital, a missing will, a hasty engagement, and a suspiciously slippery servant. But Mary s stumbled onto a mystery of her own. She spotted a ghostly girl in a grey gown dashing through the park. A girl who is the spitting image of their new client. The two cases must be linked . . . or else there s a perfectly supernatural explanation."

      Gr 4-6-Adam, Mary, Jane, and Allegra are back. Mary Somerville, the smartest girl in England, needs them to look into her cousin Lizzie's engagement. Mary doesn't trust Lizzie's fiance, Sir Caleb Gulpidge. She thinks he is after the girl's money and doesn't have her best interests in mind. When the four girls approach the house, they encounter a mysterious girl in gray. Is she connected somehow? What are Lizzie's fiance and father really up to? Narrator Nicola Barber's unique voices bring to life the characters' personalities. Stratford expertly intertwines mystery, adventure, and complex character growth. Although the historical discrepancies may confuse some listeners, they don't detract from the engaging story. The secondary characters are not as well developed, but the unique and clever personalities of the four main ones should make up for it. VERDICT Recommended for listeners who enjoy historical mystery adventures. ["Not as strong as the previous volume; purchase only where the first book in the series is popular": SLJ 12/15 review of the Knopf book.]-Kira Moody, Whitmore Library, Salt Lake City
