Minor: Alcohol, Child abuse, Sexism, Sexual harassment, and Stalking

➸ Trigger warnings for sexism, queermisia (theme), sexual harassment recounted, child abuse, domestic abuse, suicide by gun violence mentioned (multiple), alcohol consumption, hospitalisation for physical injuries, death of a mother, death of a father from suicide, murder, gun violence, knife violence & stabbing, physical assault, blackmail, and stalking. Context: • Will is hospitalised for extensive injuries sustained during a physical assault (suspected hate crime). She suffers from a broken wrist, dislocated fingers, fractured ribs, and a laceration to her face. • The love interest's father and uncle are blackmailed about their sexuality. Her mother forced her father to marry her, officially claiming her pregnancy as his child, so she would not out his relationship with Wallace. He later dies by suicide from a gunshot due to the pressure of being closeted. • Lots of discussion or innuendos about the legality of queer relationships as well as period typical sexism.

Super fun, very quick, definitely engaging! All of the content warnings I've added have the caveat of period typical.

a fun murder mystery with some effortlessly witty writing, really easy to read. also, as sb with chronic pain, it was really cool seeing a disabled woman as the sherlock holmes of the story :')

Well this book was such a whirlwind read. I enjoyed this 1940s murder mystery unfold through the investigation and the unralling of the case, its suspects and the investigators. Although I guessed the culprit early on the story still had parts I didn't see coming. I thought the 2 main character of ms Pentecost and  Ms Parker the ultimate team from there meeting their bond and relationship was perfect! Ms pentecost's Ms, quick mind and determination made her a force to recond with. All elements of this story were superbly through out and I hope this series continues equally as good.
