I read 12 books in #December with this one as my only 5⭐️.

I loved this debut so much for its wit and charm, but the incandescent heroine trying to overcome discrimination stole the show. ❤️

Honorable mention: When the Moon Turns Blue

Violet Hamilton is a 28 yo self-professed spinster living in Hastings (1896) with her father and has never had closure since her vivacious, beautiful mother disappeared 10 years earlier. She decides to hire a private detective in an attempt to move forward with her life. She is not pleased with the obsessive, aggressive PI (who refuses to be fired) and tries to convince another more honorable (former) PI (now furniture seller) to take the job. 🔻

robinb Meanwhile her uptight father is throwing possible husband candidates her way. She just wants to solve the mystery and begin to experience and explore the possibilities around her, including a profession but discovers that is not so easily done for a woman. As she begins to discover secrets about her mother, she finds herself questioning everything in their family‘s past and realizes there is no quick fix to be had. How will she uncover 🔻 1y
robinb the truths and be able to embrace a future with so many doubts and unknowns? I loved this debut SO much!! While the subject was not always humorous it was written with such wry wit and charm that I devoured it and hated to reach the end. Violet is one of those incandescent characters who grab your heartstrings with her hilarity, determination and bravery and lingers in your mind long after her story is told. 🔻 (edited) 1y
robinb Extra praise for the rest of the cast as well. Highly recommended. 5/5⭐️ 1y
