I really loved the way this story unfolded, the characters’ journeys together and apart, and how relevant it is still today’s political climate.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I loved how the author wrote all those different characters lives with completely different elements and how it all intersected together for the murder mystery - a little romance and political espionage and McCarthyism.

Loved the house as a character.  Wish there was more of that.  I found Claire and Nina too similar until the end.  Didn’t appreciate the stereotypes.  Thought I would like it more that I did.  Not sure if the recipes were a fun addition or unnecessary distraction.

A book covering WWII and Korean War indirectly. A lot of content warnings but most referred to as something in the past/elsewhere.

A bit heavy-handedly preachy and saccharine at times, but a fun historical fiction mystery nonetheless, with good character building and excellent attention to detail.
