4.0

A fun, fast read with enjoyable characters. This book takes place in the 1920's so sexism and misogyny is a part of that world, but there are so many characters that push back against that on a way that felt realistic for that time. 

The mystery was well written but not overly surprising. The romance was cute with plenty of tropes. So if tropes annoy you, this probably isn't for you. But if you're in the mood for something fun and fast, enjoy!
