T E Kinsey is such a fun writer, I can never get enough of his books! This one was fantastic, as expected. The combination of historical accuracy, silly jokes and a good murder with a plot twist gets me every time.

I enjoyed some of the Lady Hardcastle mysteries, but while the writing style and some characters are shared between this book and that series, for me this book was missing much of the other series' charm. Maybe it's the London music scene and posh clubs setting, or the fact that I could predict the culprit and motive as soon as the crime occurred based on the setup we were given, but reading this book was rather a slog for me.
