Historical and period pieces aren’t usually my preference for romance but I’m a sucker for noir so I jumped on this one and was not disappointed. The author’s writing is so lyrical, I listened to this story unfold in posh British accents in my head. This a quintessential noir but elevated with painstaking accuracy in every aspect of historical detail. The author has blended humor and the pop culture of the time into a raw, real snapshot of a scary time in the not-so-distant past, a time when social constructs wielded power to destroy lives. There’s a perfect blend of suspense and romance, where the intrigue and tension play off of one another beautifully. This is an excellent start to a new series, laying a foundation that promises us more great reads to come and I loved every minute. I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. - Daisy Knox, author of Go For Broke
