I really enjoyed this book! Even though I haven't read the first one in the series, I had no trouble following this one. My favorite part was the main character, Sydney, a private investigator. She has a fun attitude, smarts, a sense of humor, and a knack for finding trouble.
One thing that made this book stand out in the cozy genre was that it's set in the 1950s, in Austin, Texas. I enjoyed reading all the period details, and felt like I learned some new things. I don't think I've ever read a cozy set in that time period before this series!
The mystery was very good. There were a lot of clues and possible suspects. I enjoyed reading as Sydney and Ralph followed the leads to figure everything out. Their sometimes crazy hijinks along the way made the book even more enjoyable. The ending was satisfying, wrapping up the mystery while teasing an interesting next book.
5 stars!
