A Dangerous Legacy by Elizabeth Camden
Brave Lucy and her brother Nick are in a terrible situation. They are involved in a long-standing lawsuit against their nasty family involving the ownership of a patent for valves. This has practically sent them penniless although they are both employed, and in their spare time they help the poor by secretly installing the valves.
When Lucy, a telegraph operator at AP Press, discovers secrets about her family, the adventures start. Together with her young rival, Colin, who works at Reuters, she gets involved in dangerous situations - even ending up in an insane asylum at one stage! When they discover that Lucy's family may be even more evil than they thought, it's a race against time to stop a terrible assassination plot. Lucy has to struggle to keep the faith, however, there isn't much religion in this book.
Lucy and Colin were engaging characters and the historical setting was well-researched and interesting. I found the story rather far-fetched, however, and I admit to just skimming the end. I may try more of Elizabeth Camden's books.
