A fun romp and a quick read

Ms Sutton has gifted us with another delightful work.

Again, sadly, she sprinkles throughout the work words and phrases from the 2020s — (ie., to “drop” or release a new recording is definitely not ‘Post Great War’ English verbiage), but such just demonstrates how much we are a prisoner of our own time and culture.

And she rises above such small mistakes with the richness of the characters and the setting.

Dodo, still waiting for Rupert to “pop the question,” is embroiled in a murder on the infamous Isle of Dogs, and she manages to navigate through English and American jazz culture to track down the killer.

A must read.

I liked this installment to the series, it felt a little different, a bit grittier with more interesting characters at its core. The solution was a little bit of a let down but was more than made up for by the rest. I'm also looking forward to seeing more of Willie in future stories as well.

Excellent

I love Dodo and the rest of the characters. Willie was a loveable boy. Street wise and happy. Can't wait for book 11. Just wish the books were longer.
