\"Murder<\/a>There is a werewolf in Lamplight.<\/p>\n

But Isabeau isn’t going after it. Instead, she’s assisting Evie in a murder investigation. One tied to an important secret social club.<\/p>\n

\u201cA social club,\u201d said Evie. \u201cWhat are a minister, a magician and a police chief all doing in the same social club?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cSounds like a bad joke, don’t it? Hell, it bloody is, when it comes down to it. But yes, a social club. Us and four others. Powerful people all, I believe. We all meet in a little building called Blithedale’s Fire in the center of West Maribone.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since they are running around Lamplight, we get a good look at the underpinnings of the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren,\u201d said Evie at Isabeau’s other side. <\/p>\n

\u201cCome again?\u201d asked Mr Hollingsworth. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s so many,\u201d said Evie, her face blank. \u201cSo many children working.\u201d <\/p>\n

Isabeau noticed the small frames of dozens of children among the adults. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey do have tiny fingers, I’ve found.\u201d Mr Hollingsworth smiled.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is all but a direct quote of the many men who ran factories that employed children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But to be clear, this is not a story about child labor and the industrial revolution, it’s a steampunk murder mystery, and one that like the previous two books is fun and funny.<\/p>\n

Chapter 30: They Get Caught<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA gun!\u201d he exclaimed, drawing close to it. \u201cLooks rather old-timey. Hmm, there’s a nameplate below it. Belongs to one Mr Chekhov.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am enjoying this series.<\/p>\n

Aside: Another book with wolfsbane.<\/p>\n

Many people believe wolfsbane is poison to the werewolf. This is a confusion of the facts. Certainly, the aconitum plant is a poisonous plant. But it doesn’t harm the werewolf in the slightest when ingested.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s the third in the past several months.<\/p>\n
