It's the 1920's and Evie is being shipped off to New York to live with her Uncle. Little does she know that she is about to become wrapped up in a murder mystery where a power she possesses will come in very useful...
I think this book really brings the flapper girls to life, from the glamour to the booze as well as all the pos-itutely fabulous slang words.You really get a feel for every character and all of them are lovable in their own way, cheeky Sam, gentle Jericho, loud Evie, beautiful Theta, plain Mabel and poetic Memphis. The murder mystery is a good one and Naughty John actually scared me and I really didn't want to be meeting him on a dark night.
It did take me a while to really fall into the story, but once I did, Evie carried me along swiftly with all the adventures of solving a crime!
