Upper class Dandy(Dandelion)Gilver,when asked by a friend to do some sleuthing for stolen diamonds,sees it as fun distraction.What first appears to be a lark becomes serious when murder occurs.Lots of tangled webs,dead end trails,convoluted threads-I felt confused while reading,as if I was in a maze, just like Dandy‘s meandering thoughts & spaghetti like strands in her mind,that never seemed to meet.
pickThis is another read from the bottom of my TBR. (I mean are the oldest books at the bottom or at the top? 🤷🏻♀️) anyway it was a soft pick. I liked the writing and the characters but the denouement was pretty unbelievable and I‘d figured out the murderer much earlier than the sweet but bumbling amateur investigator. Still very enjoyable and as this is the first in a series I‘d forgive those tiny weaknesses and head to the next one for sure. ⬇️
Here's some 1920's Scottish upperclass #style for you. I love the main character Dandy Gilver.

I enjoy reading about dogs but prefer cats in real life 😸 Ronja doesn't seem to like the cover but at least she did me the favor of pausing her grooming to glance at the camera👍
