Jewel of the Thames: A Portia Adams Adventure (Collector's Edition) | 
Charlie‘s helping me through JEWEL OF THE THAMES, a mystery that caught my eye at the library a couple weeks back. Unfortunately, it‘s not as gripping as my last random borrow. I like it enough to keep going, but little logical missteps keep taking me out of the story. I find both the prose style and the London touchstones make Portia‘s world feel much more like the early 1900s than the 1930s, too; another jarring element.
