I received a Kindle version of this title from the publisher in advance so that I could write a voluntary review.
I really liked both of the main characters Vesta and Mirabelle and really enjoyed the chemistry they had between each other as far as being co-workers, friends, and mystery agents as they solve the murders that are happening in their town of Brighton, England. The story intertwines their work at a local debt collection office after the Second World War. Most items that were considered luxury merchandise were found on the black market, such as nylons, some medicines, and alcohol after the war so Mirabelle found herself making new contacts and finding more to the story after a local cleaning lady was found dead in a local Freemasons Lodge. I didn’t realize until I start reading further into this book that it was the 3rd in a series, so one great thing about the book is that you do not have to read the first 2 in the series in order to follow the plot of this one. So that was really nice!
The majority of the book that I really enjoyed was how the author, Sara Sheridan included a lot of historical information along with fictional characterizations and story-telling, to create a fun and quick read. There were definitely details throughout the story that kept me wondering what was going to happen next.
