Camera Obscura by Lavie Tidhar
The mysterious and glamorous Milady De Winter is one of their most valuable agents. A despicable murder inside a locked and bolted room on the Rue Morgue in Paris is just the start. This whirlwind adventure will take Milady to the highest and lowest parts of that great city, and beyond and cause her to question the very nature of reality itself. A breathtaking alternate Victorian history adventure, set in the same world as The Bookman. File Under: Steampunk [ Alternate History | Reptilian Royalty | Murder Most Foul | The World’s Fair ]
"A rollicking adventure..a maelstrom of pop culture and recursive fantasy." - Tor.com; "Superb." - Fantasy Book Critic
