Rather than a mystery, it's more of a romance. It's also an older story, so the wording can be a bit confusing at times; other than getting quite lost
Minor: Racism

I would highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys cinematic reads, but know that it's clearly a product of the 1930s.

Writing is cheesy and cringy like movies from early Hollywood. Book is rather sexist. Racial profiling is way over the top for this book to be cheered as a classic. Fit for archives of the library or maybe for someone more accepting of the literature of the period, but would not recommend to general public.
