I have read the sequels to this story and am excited to continue doing so! I love this era! As I read I feel I am there in the story. Lola is a fascinating character and a wonderful friend to Miss Edie! The age difference makes it even more perfect! It’s like they are kindreds. As if the age barrier perceived by society is invisible and only they understand one another. In a way no one else could. There is a deep respect on both sides! An uncanny, loving friendship where one might not expect in two such different ladies! I look forward to many more of these lovely mysteries! Thank you for the entertainment you provide for me and all of your followers!
I recommend this series to all who enjoy suspense in a beautiful setting. With beautiful and sometimes crazy people who cherish friendship and a delightful mystery with a little, but not overwhelming, romantic undertones that leave you wanting to hear more and yet it is never salacious nor overt! Just love as you would wish to share and friends enjoying life to the fullest as the young and young at heart should. With a good mystery to solve to make it interesting as you go!

What fun stories!
What fun and enticing stories!! They make a person want to follow through reading about the people in each of them. I've kept up with Lady Violet Carlyle, and love all her books, and looking forward to all the ones coming up about herself, her twin brother, Victor, and her love, Jack. Plus all her fun, zany friends! Then there's the second story about the Piccadilly Ladies Club? Not sure that's correct, but I've just started reading those books, and find them also fun, but serious and mysterious. So far very good to read! Then the last story about Lola Rose & her mother. I haven't read any of those, but after reading this short New Year's Eve story I find I want to learn more about them both? Especially Lola Lucille Rose! Also there's a few more interesting characters that sound a bit intriguing. I do believe I'll have hereto start reading those now. Except, do I start at the very beginning, or take up where this story leaves off?? Hummmm! Decisions, decisions!! Any advice will be helpfully appreciated ❣️😉

Knocking the old year on the head
A good read surprisingly after seeing the rather damming reviews. Perhaps the reviewers were feeling a little jaded. Okay I must admit that I least enjoyed story 2 but even that, although predictable, was am okay read. Maybe some were a mystery per se but the characters were still interesting and I did read them all. A good introduction for new readers or old readers that wanted a bit more background.

Short and Sweet
Short and Sweet. This novella is a glimpse of New Year’s Eve on Violet’s sail to Cuba. A sweet little mystery solved along the way.

Enjoyed all three stories. Already read Violet Carlyle and picked up Piccadilly because of this. Can't wait to try the third.
