Solid 4 to 4.5 star read for this one!
I really enjoyed the characters and I love anything set in the 20’s! This definitely plays out more like an older mystery would, no crazy rides into the seedy underground, but I’m glad it didn’t because I feel like it wouldn’t have fit the period.
I did figure out one of the twists pretty early on but I didn’t see the major reveal coming. The author did drop a pretty glaring hint that I realized after the fact, but I was so caught up in the story and it was well placed, so I missed it.
Looking forward to picking up more by this author in the future!
