Having narrowly escaped the electrifying machinations of Thomas Edison, Books and Braun are looking forward to a relaxing and possibly romantic voyage home. But when Braun's emergency signal goes off, all thoughts of recreation vanish. Braun's street-wise team of child informants, the Ministry Seven, is in grave peril, and Books and Braun must return to England immediately. But when the intrepid agents finally arrive in London, the situation is even more dire than they imagined. The Ministry has been disavowed, and the Department of Imperial Inconveniences has been called in to decommission its agents in a most deadly fashion. The plan reeks of the Maestro's dastardly scheming. Only, this time, he has a dangerous new ally-a duplicitous doctor whose pernicious poisons have infected the highest levels of society, reaching even the Queen herself.… (plus d'informations)

What fun. Will continue on with this series. ( )

This is the fourth book in the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series and it was a good addition to this series.

I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook for this series have been very well done. Langton does an amazing job at narrating these and his narration is part of what makes this series so fun.

I still enjoy our main characters of Books and Braun quite a bit. I was a bit frustrated that we didn't spend as much time with them in this book as we did in previous books. This book jumps around between different points of view quite a bit more than previous books and the side characters aren't nearly as well done or interesting as Books and Braun.

I also had some issues with knowing when the story was switching viewpoints, this may have been an audiobook issue. I would be listening to the story and then realize new characters were talking and we must have switched viewpoints. It always took me a bit to realize that I was listening about a different part of the story.

Overall this was a good addition to this series, but not my favorite book in the series. I enjoy the world and some of the characters (Books and Braun). I would have liked less page space with the other side characters….or maybe it would have been okay if the side characters had been developed a bit better. The story is well done. I would recommend this to steampunk fans. ( )

Given the reveals about the House of Usher in this book, the interactions with them in the past and the discovery of Jekyll's mind control treatments , I'm really nervous for Books' future with the Ministry.

If you want to read more (and you will), help out on the kickstarter campaign until mid-November. The 5th Book is already funded, but this is a 6-book arc, and it'd be a good thing to get the last one in the pipeline.

Kickstarter Campaign

Note: I am not associated with this campaign in any way. My benefit is in the way we all benefit: more awesome tales of Books and Braun.

Can I read the next book now?

This book starts showing the carefully woven overall story arc Ann's provides intriguing clues about just what Books' nut of a father was up to.
I highly recommend reading if you enjoyed the first three books.
