Librarian Sylvia Ash knows nothing of her ancestry. Her father was unknown and her mother refused to speak of her family background. When a diary from her brother, a casualty of WWI, suggests there were magicians in the family she doesn't believe it. Sylvia tries to find an answer by consulting a well-born son of a magical family only to find he is not the least bit magical and his magician mother is out of the country. Gabe has survived a harrowing four years of WWI, miraculously without injury. Now he works as a consultant for Scotland Yard in matters of magic. The theft of a magical painting brings Gabe and Sylvia together in the investigation. This story adds a few new twists to the "magical" part of the story but otherwise it seems to be one more in a plethora of stories where simmering romance and magic mix. There are two more books in the "Glass Library" series but I think I'll pass.
