The murder mystery tied to flowers was interesting, as was hearing about cocaine in the 20s with the upper class. It was briefly touched on being used in the war and I wish the historical info about that was touched on a little more.
Overall I thought the book was a little drawn out and I started getting a little bored. I again like Saffron’s character most of the time like I did with the first book, but I love Elizabeth. Lee was just ok and while I liked his snarkiness, he was also annoying, and I felt like Ashton’s personality was too different from the last book and it just felt confusing. Also, I really don’t like love triangles.
The main reason I read this and the first book was I was given the ARC of the 3rd and didn’t want to be confused dropped into a 3rd book but these were just ok.
