The Problem of the Missing Miss

I only finished this book to see how silly the characters would behave. Reading books set in Victorian times is like reading about a civilization on another planet. At one point, the abductee has a clear chance to escape but doesn't because it would mean going outside in her underwear.
The adults (including the parents) go on about the poor missing child but frequently stop looking so they can have tea, eat dinner, attend some social function, change clothes and so on.
Dodgson appears useless in the beginning and near the end suddenly becomes competent.
I won't be reading other books in the series.
