A SOLID MYSTERY.

I love Kate Quinn books. I’ve usually listened to them on audio but had the chance to read an early copy of this one and I really liked it. It had a unique set up that somewhat worked for me? I loved getting the POV from multiple characters in the house but it also felt like I was starting over a little bit each time. It would take a second to get dragged back in.

I loved that there were people from multiple backgrounds and experiences and seeing many different angles of 1950’s. It’s clearly well researched and I loved the plot dynamics. The mystery was intriguing and I definitely was surprised by some of the reveals.

Another truly good read. She’s one of my go-to historical fiction authors and doesn’t disappoint!
