Themes: 1920‘s Historical Fiction, Women Gaining Independence, Speakeasies and Jazz Clubs

This was a fun romp of a book! It held my interest throughout and you cannot help but love Zora and root for her!! Definitely a pick that I‘d recommend to all the 1920‘s historical fiction fans out there.

Murder in Venice | L. B. Hathaway

Forgot to post back when I finished this book. I‘m going through the whole audiobook series in order on #Everand. Love this series!

I enjoyed this one, but the ending was heartbreaking. And so much drama over Alaric. Girl, you can do better. Exciting and handsome doesn‘t mean he treats you right. Venice was a lovely and mysterious backdrop, as always. I had early and accurate suspicions about the ultimate culprit, but it was still a fun read.

I was right, satisfied sigh. But, it wasn‘t till the very end that my instinct was proven true. Three women left single because of the war, move to a small town together. A dead body is discovered in their basement when they finally are able to break in on the day Daisy and her Scotland Yard husband are visiting.

Rev. Mother Aquinas‘s involvement in unraveling the mystery surrounding the assassination of Cork‘s city engineer,began with buttered eggs...The plot is immersed in the both the present& in the past.Cork is a city of contradictions: vast wealth and desperate poor. Below the surface, Its people are simmering with anger about the results of the 1916 Easter uprising.The majority of its leaders were executed. A young ex-reporter is arrested. 🔽

kspenmoll 🔼 Inspector P. Cashman, Eileen, both former pupils of Rev. Mother, her cousin Lucy,& Dr. Scher all team up to solve the crime. Politics, social issues,& Yeats‘poetry all provide an integrating backdrop for the mystery. (edited) 3mo

AnnR An interesting review! 👍 I had to look up the buttered eggs reference, as I had no idea that was used as a method to preserve eggs. Learned something new today. Thank you! 3mo

Last one! I fell super behind on the #sundaybuddyread discussions but I'm glad it put this on my radar. It was the perfect cozy mystery for me to dip into throughout the month as a break from all the romance 😅
Lady Swift and Clifford's relationship was a joy to watch as they were sleuthing together. It reminded me a little bit of Father Brown, especially how the inspector is always a bit peeved when the amateurs get involved lol

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I finished this over a week ago but still haven't gotten around to the final set of questions. 3mo
TheBookHippie I enjoyed this one! 3mo

My pick for November #12Booksof2023. My November is really for this fun light-hearted series. Olive is a high society detective in the 1920s/1930s, and these short novels are just a treat.

Andrew65 Love these style of books. 4mo

Andrew65 Looks a good read to me, but not aware of the author. 4mo
Bluebird @Andrew65 i‘d heard good things about an earlier book ‘The Flight Girls‘, but went for this one because I was fulfilling a ‘roaring 20‘s‘ prompt and this seemed like something I‘d enjoy. The audio was wonderful. 4mo
