Hasty Death

Another moderately entertaining read.

Drink every time she mentions corsets or stays as something negative.

It is interesting how many stories Marion Chesney manages to put in these few pages. It's a pity she keeps them very shallow.
There's also the... wildness of ideas, I suppose... for example, there's a couple who gets a lot of money, but still decides to steal some things. It doesn't add anything to the story, they are in no way connected to anything, it's not even enough to be a red herring, and everything about that story is rather confusing... but it's there. We even get to know their further adventures in the end of the book.
I like that detail, BTW, that she tells the “what happened to XX” and ties up all the threads. Most of them are totally irrelevant and uninteresting to the main story, but still fun.

I also like the quotes every chapter begins with.

Rose is better in this book, the rest of the characters worse.
