Belle was left as a bit of an enigma and I would have liked to have learnt more about her and how she came to owning a Wig Emporium. It was a cold winter night in 1850 when Baby Lily Mortimer’s life was saved when she was found in London’s Victoria Park and brought to the Foundling Hospital.

It’s not a long book as it’s under 300 pages but it was perfectly paced although, I would have been happy to have read more about her adventures with Belle Prettywood. Nobody knows yet that she is a murderer. She was rescued by Sam Trench, a local Bobby, although, it’s quite a stretch to say her life was saved, as her life turned out not to be an easy one.
Great read. A secret I do not condemn her for.
