An
action-packed tale of gowns, guys, guns--and the heroines who use them all
Set in Edwardian London, The Friday Society follows the stories of three very intelligent and talented young women, all of whom are assistants to powerful men: Cora, lab assistant; Michiko, Japanese fight assistant; and Nellie, magician's assistant. The three young women's lives become inexorably intertwined after a chance meeting at a ball that ends with the discovery of a murdered mystery man.
It's up to these three, in their own charming but bold way, to solve the murder--and the crimes they believe may be connected to it--without calling too much attention to themselves.
Told with Adrienne Kress's sharp wit and a great deal of irreverence, this Steampunk whodunit introduces three unforgettable and very ladylike--well, relatively ladylike--heroines poised for more dangerous adventures.

Any
novel filled with powerful women has got my vote! Not to mention there is not
just one female hero, but THREE!!!
Haven't read this author before but the blurb sounds interesting! Will definitely add this to my TBR list.

I've been seeing this one around a lot lately. I have to admit, that first line sold me...I didn't have to read any further to know I'll be waiting on The Friday Society, too. Thanks for sharing!
