Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson
4.0

Atkinson does a good job weaving together the different character storylines in this novel about 1920s London and the nightclub/gang underworld. Sometimes the jumping around bothers me but here I enjoyed it. For me where things fell flat was with some of Nellie's kids and their roles in the business and the police detective wanting to take her down. Just did not buy him as a Detective. Too much head in the clouds. Overall a fun read.
