I really loved this book now that we’ve gotten to know Saffron! At first I thought I was going to be super sad without my fav scholarly hunk Alexander Ashton but the introduction of Dr. Lee as Saffron’s partner was fun and he definitely has a spunky personality and brought out a new side of Saffron. It broke my heart when
Alexander returned all ready to hold Saffron in his arms and found out about her and Lee. The way he held on to her smile and her to keep him going on his exploration was soooo sweet. I do have to say I was so unfulfilled when at the end she didn’t necessarily choose either men. I was sad for both Alexander and Lee who clearly are swooning over Saffron!
ok back to the murder, in my opinion it was super easy to figure out. The author left lots of clues for you to determine who done it. So I wasn’t super surprised at all since I saw it coming. What made this book better than the first is the dazzling nightlife Saffron and Lee were involved in to solve the murder! It added a whole new layer instead of the academic setting from the first novel. You can tell the author has really done her research and I learned so many facts about the 1920s era in London! It’s a fun historical mystery with some romance thrown in and I loved it. Would recommend highly!
