I think that the book does a good job of keeping the reader engaged and interested in the mystery portion of the plot. There was significantly more time devoted to the 1919 portion of the plot which, while necessary to setup the denouement of the story, made the character development feel unbalanced at times. However, Davis does a good job of investing the reader in Lillian's arc, as well as her relationship with Helen. I was satisfied with the ending.
