I enjoyed this cozy crime from Helena Dixon, which is set in the 1930s. It is well written and easy to read. The mystery itself is not hugely intricate, though it does keep you guessing for quite a lot of the book.

I enjoyed the character development of Kitty, at the beginning of the book, she seems quite feeble and is frightened by all the untoward events (as anyone would be), but by the end of the story, she comes into her own a little. I look forward to seeing further developments in future books.

I liked Matt’s character too. He obviously suffered greatly during the war, when he was still very young, and this has affected him. Again, I’m expecting to see character development in future books.

Overall, this is a strong start to what I hope will be a fun series to follow.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really enjoyable book! It almost had the feel of a cozy mystery set in the 1930s. I thought Kitty was a fantastic amateur sleuth with the help of Matt. The mystery story aspect of it was well done and I thought some of the details were well done from the historical perspective, it certainly was obvious (in a good way) that the settings of this was in the 30s. The overall writing style was easy to read and there weren't any parts that dragged, the plot was well paced. I'll look forward the the next book in the series!
