\"Lady<\/a>The longer this series goes on the better I like it.<\/p>\n

Although I think some of the outfits she wears are ridiculous, I have accepted the, because she does use the more ridiculous outfits to fight and generally kick ass.
<\/p>\n

A man Mr Lewis used to work with is brutally killed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then at the funeral another man is murdered.<\/p>\n

And here were learn why Mr Lewis often drinks himself into oblivion, and in an instant, instead of being irritated by him, I find him sympathetic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lady Mechanika and Detective Inspector Singh look into these deaths–only someone claims the murders were done by Mechanicka herself.<\/p>\n

I also really like Singh, who is just as complex as Mechanicka and Lewis.<\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

I am definitely enjoying this story, and can’t wait until the next volume arrives.<\/p>\n
