Reviewers praised the novel as "delightfully entertaining" with "rich characters" and a mix of suspense and charm, eagerly anticipating the next installment. Set in 1930s England, this "cosy crime" story features a burgeoning romance, perfect for winter reading by a crackling fire. The period details and settings are excellently crafted, leading to a swift and satisfying conclusion. One reader was so captivated that housework was abandoned until the book was finished the next evening. Dottie Manderson, the protagonist, is described as a gorgeous character, and readers are excited to follow her journey. In November 1933, Dottie finds a dying man on a deserted street. As she holds his hand, he sings lines from a popular stage show instead of revealing the identity of his attacker. Intrigued and determined, Dottie embarks on her own investigation despite the presence of a rather annoying young policeman handling the official case. This introduction of a new female sleuth in a cozy mystery series promises an engaging blend of romance and suspense. For a romantic, suspenseful read in the traditional amateur detective genre, this book is a must-have. It captures the essence of a vintage pre-war mystery with a strong female lead.
