I enjoyed many of the female characters in the book. Clara is plucky and determined, her eventual sidekick is brave, strong and funny. Clara’s family members are different than you might expect. The male characters are less fleshed out and are either dismissive of her as a woman or paternalistically tolerant.
The author spends a lot of time having Clara go over clues and timelines in her thoughts, charting it out on paper, talking it over with others, etc. A lot of time, often with nothing new to add. Covering the same information multiple times became a little boring. Ultimately the mystery was pretty convoluted, and I’m not sure it worked very well. We never did find out what happened with one of the major suspects at the end or if he was truly involved.
My favorite part overall was the timeframe and setting. The author clearly did some research, and I enjoyed the clothes, houses, and jargon of the day.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing an advanced reader’s copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.… (más)
