Warning: several instances of racial slurs common in the 1930s. As well as shocking/horrific ideals and treatment of women that were found to be normal and acceptable in the 1930s.

I don't think I'll read the book again because of this.

The thing actually really enjoyed about this book was the return of Lady Amanda Fitton and the chemistry she has with Campion. However, I didn't like how the book didn't really pick up pace until the last third.
