A fun twist on historical mystery fiction set in the prohibition that follows a diverse group of characters.

I was drawn in immediately: Vivian is at her regular speakeasy when she and her friend Bea find a dead body in the alley. Vivian is then asked by the owner of the speakeasy to do a bit of digging, chaos ensues from there.

I had a great time reading this, but sadly the middle fell flat which has dragged my rating down a bit. Plus, for following people in their 20s, the tone came off YA. 

While it was nice to see some LGBTQ rep in a 1920s book,  the love triangle wasn’t well fleshed out and the lack of information on Honor didn’t keep me hooked. I think I’m team Leo just for that reason as we know more about him. 

Finally with how it ended, I’m not sure there was enough to make me want to continue on in the series. Like what will Vivian be doing?

If you’re looking for a fun, 1920s era mystery, I recommend this one.
