A parent might reach for this book when their teenager is starting to look beyond surface-level appearances and grapple with the difference between what is legal and what is truly right. It is a sophisticated historical mystery set in Victorian England that follows Katharine Tulman as she travels to a remote estate to prove her uncle is mentally unfit for his inheritance. Instead of a madman, she finds a brilliant inventor who has built a sanctuary for hundreds of people rescued from the brutal conditions of London workhouses. The story explores themes of empathy, the ethics of social responsibility, and the courage required to stand up for a vulnerable community. It is an excellent choice for mature readers who enjoy intricate world-building and characters who must navigate complex moral dilemmas while facing genuine peril.
