I have been waiting impatiently to get my hands on this delightful book, and it surpassed my expectations! I love Edie and Gil SO much. The plot was so perfectly paced, the descriptions of the setting—and the clothing!—were fabulous. I love the characters’ backgrounds and how cleanly they were folded into the storyline without infodumps. If you are a fan of Miss Fisher, you will adore this story!

Cannot wait for more from this author!

Thank you, Netgalley and the publisher, for an advanced copy of this delightful story. Opinions are my own.20 s Jeannine694 62

I enjoyed the investigation in this debut, though the villain is obvious by the 25% mark. The characters on the non-society side of the character list are appealing. Those on the society side of the character list are less able. The female main character is abrasive and self-absorbed. It's hard to sympathize with her knowing that she created the difficult situation in which she finds herself when the story begins. I found the writing unsophisticated and goofy at points.

Both main characters are working through trauma and it'll be interesting to see how they evolve.

Reviews are for readers! Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. 2024-03-march netgalley17 s M.K. PaganoAuthor 1 book105

I was lucky enough to read an early edition of this lovely book. Adams has created an incredibly well-written, obviously well-researched, tense and exciting story about a serial killer in 1920s Philadelphia. We have two compelling protagonists: Edie, a high society girl who returns to find her sister engaged to her ex-boyfriend, and Gilbert, a doctor who's returned from World War I and now works at the city morgue. As women around them go missing and then turn up gruesomely murdered, they need to team up to find out who's responsible before someone close to them is next. I thoroughly enjoyed this romp through the twenties and loved following along with Edie and Gil as they followed a trail of clues and slowly start to have feelings for each other. I can't wait to read more from this world!adult10 s ;3468 1,180 Shelved as 'dnf'

started off really well but the insta love on the guy’s end was so lame. bro barely blinked and he was already waxing poetic about how he wants her7 s Samantha Murphy53 3

Set in Philadelphia in the early 1920s. This historical murder mystery will leave you on the edge of your seat with shocking twists, vivid settings that will whisk you away to the Jazz Age, lovable characters topped with a bit of slow burn romance. An incredible debut by the author. I cant wait to read more of Edie and Gil in Book 2!
