This is such a charming story. Even as an adult I enjoyed it very much, and since it ended with a cliffhanger, I immediately ordered the second book in the series. :D Off to new adventures!

I loved it so much! This goes on my "favourite books" list. I liked the plot, the characters (especially Biddy and Hutchincroft), and the writing; and I was hooked from the very beginning. I hope there'll be a sequel one day. <3
Harlem, 1926. Young Black women like Louise Lloyd are ending up dead.
Following a harrowing …
The story was engaging enough to keep me reading, and I finished the book pretty fast. However, the characters imho would have needed more development and depth, the plot and characters' decisions sometimes didn't make sense at all, and the ending felt kinda abrupt and rushed. The writing style was at times confusing and repetitive. In the end I was left with so many questions concerning the murders, the whys and hows. On the plus side, we get queer Black characters and a glimpse into 1920s Harlem. I will certainly read the next book in the series because I want to know how it all further develops - the story as well as the writing.

Book 3 in the Laetitia Rodd series... When googling for info on another one, I learnt that the author has passed away last year. How tragic, and how sad that there'll be no more Laetitia Rodd mysteries. I greatly enjoyed book 1 and 2.

Cosy (?) regency era mystery, let's go! I've been keen on reading this for a while, one reason being that it's a series of 15 (fifteen!) books, and I just love reading historical mysteries, so the more of it, the better.

Not even 100 pages in and the characters are annoying me so much that I don't really want to read on... I don't care what happens to them. I also do not particularly enjoy the writing style, so I guess this book is not for me.
