Was in the mood for a cosy mystery, so I thought I'd get back to rereading this series. I'm not sure if I'll keep the books once I've worked my way through the whole thing; I like Daisy well enough, but I'm not sure I'll reread again in future, tbh. So much reliance on coincidence in every book, it just doesn't quite sit right.
Which is not to say it's not fun! Just not a permanent keeper, perhaps.

4⭐️ Really enjoyed this book. Even though it felt like it dragged in places, the story kept moving forward and I felt like I understood Auntie Em more. #2025 #greatdepression #historicalfiction #1920s #fiction

The main character seemed slightly less impetuous in this one. It was still quite unrealistic to the time period.


This Golden Age crime novel from 1923 is a weak pick. The plot is not terribly plausible and there is a lot of melodrama but I still enjoyed the story.
