It took me a while to get into this book. It felt like the story didn’t really get going until halfway through, but maybe I read the first half in too many sittings. Once it got going it was a really interesting plot with some good twists along the way.
The settings of the London nightclubs in the 1920s were interesting as they’re not something I knew anything about.
The story weaves together gangsters, poverty, murders, police corruption and complicated relationships.
I liked that there were several strong female characters who were controlling their own destinies, even if I didn’t especially like their life choices.
