✨Book Review✨
The Last Drop Of Hemlock
Format: audio
Arc: yes
Rating: 3/5
Synopsis: in a 1920’s speakeasy, Vivian and her best friend Bea dance the night away. Their carefree lifestyle is brought to a screeching halt when Bea’s uncle Pearlie ends up dead. The police are calling his death a suicide, but is it? Will undigging the truth end up getting Bea and Vivian killed?
✨My thoughts✨
What I liked:
-1920’s vibes
-queer characters
-atmospheric writing
What I didn’t like:
-too much talk of drinking and dancing at some points
-ending was not surprising
-characters were somewhat flat
Overall, this book was just alright. I was very excited because of the 1920’s and murder mystery vibes, but it ended up just disappointing. It wasn’t shocking at all. At multiple points throughout, it just seemed like she wanted to just talk about the nightclub, drinking, and dancing. But after a while, it got really old.
Thank you NetGalley, the author, and Minotaur Books for this ARC. My opinion thereof is an unbiased opinion of the book in exchange for this ARC
