Customer Reviews

delightful 1924 mystery

"To love anyone is to risk." This is my first Stephanie Morrill book and I'm thrilled that I could finally read one of the author's books. I loved being immersed in 1924 Chicago where Piper's sheltered life implodes after her best friend's disappearance. Piper's tenacious, spunky, and intelligent first person voice was perfect to guide the reader through this mystery that ends up being so much more than just her friend's disappearance. Piper was a maverick and a trail-blazer who got into plenty of trouble but was dogged in finding answers. I found it surprising and informative to be in the shoes of an 18 year old girl in 1924. Her struggles at home, her lofty ideals, and her sense of justice made Piper very real. I don't like love triangles so I wasn't fond of Piper receiving attention from two different gentlemen but I understood the need since both played vital roles in the plot. The plot was intricate with lots of twists and turns and gasp-worthy revelations. If you enjoy a good mystery novel with a dash of romance, you will love this book. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of Blink via NetGalley and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
