I really liked this book. I love that it was set in prohibition era while also showing the roaring 20s. I love books in this time period. The narrative was great and was paced well. I was entertained through the entire book and I was constantly trying to guess what was going to happen next. I love the characters. Gertrude and her friends were interesting characters that I loved to learn about. This was such a fun book and has made Talley an author I plan to read more of

I really liked this! I think historical mystery is a really interesting genre and one that YA doesn't have enough of. I thought this embodied the era really well, and did a good job of setting up the victim to be someone you cared about even without having much time with her.
