This book is filled with the glitz and glamour of the 1920s, completely pulling you in and making you forget that you live in 2018. The book has a subtle way of teaching you the decorum of the time, and soon you find yourself transported to a completely different time – yet you still feel right at home. The writing was effortless, even though the pace was a little slow for my liking.

The plot also could have been a little tighter, with fewer characters to keep track off. I felt like we didn’t get to know all of the characters enough for us to really care (or guess) who the murderer is. Fewer characters with richer backstories would have been better. It was a fun read and I’m definitely going to buy the first book, as I haven’t read it before.
