Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson

5.0

A glamorous, witty mystery set in 1920s London. The plot is definitely a slow build, but kept me engaged with beautiful writing and strong imagery. In this colorful ensemble cast, I wish the voices of some of the secondary characters were more fully developed, but that didn’t detract from the novel overall for me. One of my favorite reads of the year so far!
