Historical mystery
For review
My thoughts:
I have not read/listened to book 1, and I know that I often say it, but honestly, here it truly works as a stand alone. The author smoothly sets the reader into Kitty's life and it is like we always were there lurking.
Kitty is 19 and works as a reporter at a woman's page at a magazine. Sure, she does not get paid and she works half days, but she loves it! She wants to be real reporter, in this man's world. She is curious, nice and young. I liked that it really shows that she is 19 at times. That she still lives with her father and it dependent on him. That she does want to strike out on her own, but is not really ready for that.
What to call this book then. Historical mystery? Sure, yes, and it was light too.
The story then; A girl Kitty just met is found dead. She thinks it is weird and investigates, and this is what I love about historical mysteries, it takes time! She is slowly talking to people and following leads, not even knowing if there was foul play.
And during this there is talk of war (1915-16), submarines and what Germany might do. Suffragettes and women's place in the work place. All neatly woven in as she look for her clues. I liked that Kitty learned more about herself and what she wanted to do as she looked deeper into things.
I liked the ending, it was something to make you think
Conclusion:
I enjoyed it and I hope Kitty will have more adventures.

Narrator Justine Eyre
She sounded so familiar, and then she did an accent and I knew! Yes I have listened to her before and I enjoy her voice. I like her male voices and accents. And the friendly tone she has.
