Elly Griffiths is an excellent writer. I own 5 of her books on Kindle. The problem with this book is the plot.
SPOILER ALERT:
Emma is supposedly a legendary detective.
As a mother of 3 young children, she sets herself up as bait for a killer! and brings her infant son with her!
Next the "legendary detective" sends her 6 year old and nine year old daughters alone to the local corner store, even though her husband told her that there could be fights between factions! and there is still a killer on the loose!
Give me a break!

"As always, Griffiths creates an authentic sense of time and place...readers will eagerly await more to come."--Booklist, STARRED review
"Griffiths mixes well-defined characters with a clever plot. Her examination of the place of women in 1960s British society should appeal to readers of procedurals and historical fiction fans."--Publishers Weekly

I enjoyed the book, and I like the Magic Men series. But I was hoping to follow the various relationships instead of having the author jump ahead like she did. Characters ended up where you knew they would eventually but I would have enjoyed the details.

The best light mysteries
Reviewed in the United States on 8 September 2020Verified Purchase
I really enjoy Elly Griffith’s mysteries. I have read all of the Magic Men books and all the Ruth Galloway books. I recommend them highly. The worst part is waiting for the next in a series to come out. I am looking forward to reading her stand-alone book, Stranger Diaries next.

Always Engaging
Reviewed in the United States on 7 January 2020Verified Purchase
This is a fun mystery series set in the fifties and sixties. The main characters are engaging and the setting, Brighton, is delightful!

Elly Griffiths Terrific Series
Reviewed in the United States on 28 February 2021Verified Purchase
Elly Griffiths knocks it out of the park again. Her ability to develop empathetic characters is amazing. Her storyline is great. The suspense keeps building until the mystery is solved.
