Where’s the hype for this book?? It’s a historical murder mystery with a majorly queer cast of lovable characters and a sapphic romance. Though it’s not action-heavy, it’s an ever-intriguing mystery that definitely deserves more hype. I loved Millie, Marion, Olive and Bennie. I loved the vibes of the book, and the way it kept me guessing until the very end. Although there were some slower spots, I was never bored. I would’ve liked a bit more from the ending, but it was still satisfying, and overall, I definitely recommend this book.
