This was pretty good. I really like Katharine Schellman's Lily Adler mysteries, and I was interested to see their take on a 1920s murder mystery. I liked most of the main characters, and the mystery investigation and 1920s setting were done well enough. I think my biggest complaint is that some of the dialogue felt a little too clunky or loaded with unnatural exposition.
