The Woman in the Veil by Laura Joh Rowland
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
1890 London. The crime scene photograhers of Sarah Bain, Lord Hugh Staunton and Mick O'Reilly are sent by the Daily World to the banks of the Thames, where a female body has been found. Sarah soon realises that it she is still alive and is rushed to hospital. When she finally wakes up she has amnesia. Thankfully due to the newspaper article three viable possiblities present themselves as to her identify, but which is the correct one. But the investigation is still ongoing into her attack, and the trio soon find themselves in trouble.
Told from Sarah's point of view, which didn't really help the pacing of the story, and is the main character which I can't seem to take to. But this is an enjoyable enough Victorian mystery.
