The Curious Case of the Werewolf That Wasn't, the Mummy That Was, and the Cat in the Jar

A delightful read, even if you are (like me) unfamiliar with the other books in the series.

My wife mentioned Soulless to me recently, when I asked her to recommend something witty and funny written by a female author. Unfortunately the kindle version is currently not available for sale (apparently its being worked on by the publisher and will be back in 2-3 weeks), but this short story was, so I decided to start here.

I'm not sure, if I would have gotten even more out of this, if I had read other books of the Parasol Protectorate series first, but going in without any prior knowledge of the characters and the world, I must say that I was not at all disappointed, quite the contrary. The writing is superbly funny in a clever and charming way. I love Gail Carriger's style! The story itself was compelling and made me even more curious about the world the author has created, than I already was. I can't wait to read more.
