I loved diving into Poppy’s world and will definitely continue reading her story in the rest of the books.
Fiona’s writing is addictive, smart and very rich; helping you teleport into the very middle of the setting. And what a gorgeous setting this book had! London in the 1920s, following our beloved Poppy who wants to make her own living as a reporter and moves in with her suffragette aunt.
The plot was refreshing and exciting, and the characters were so endearing and well polished that I could see them playing out their roles in my mind.
If you’re a fan of Agatha Christie’s novels for their settings and their exciting finales, this might just be up your alley!
