The Sensibility Grey series is Kirsten Weiss’s foray into steampunk fiction. Set in a Victorian-era world of mechanical marvels, the three books follow Sensibility Grey through adventures that blend mystery with science fiction. The titles play on classic literary works, starting with Steam and Sensibility and continuing through Of Mice and Mechanicals and A Midsummer Night’s Mechanical.
Published between 2014 and 2016, this is one of Weiss’s shorter series and stands apart from her more numerous cozy mystery books. The steampunk setting gives her room to explore a different kind of world-building while still working within a mystery framework. Readers who enjoy genre mashups that mix Victorian atmosphere with clockwork gadgets and a sense of humor will find these books worth picking up.
