I love how the mystery advances the life story for Ginger. The mystery was good and the clues were subtle. I didn't like how the reason for the murder was dismissed to easily. It might have been better if it just sat heavy with them. But maybe that would have put too many modern sensibilities into the story.
The third book in the series (also the third I have read), and so far my favourite.
The mystery had enough plausible suspects to keep me guessing until the end, and I simply adore the vivid description of life in Britain in the 1920s.
Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
