The Outcast Girls by Alys Clare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

1881 the owner of the World's End Investigation Bureau, Lily Raynor, is called upon by schoolteacher Georgiana Long, of Shardlowes School in the Fens. It seems that pupils are disappearing and no-one is doing anything about the situation. Lily goes undercover as an Assistant Matron. Meanwhile Felix does his own investigation. But soon trouble arrives for Lily.
An interesting and entertaining well-written Victorian mystery. Lily and Felix are likeable and well-developed characters. A good addition to the series which can be read as a standalone novel.
The only thing I didn't like was that the story was written in the present tense.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
