It took me a while to get into this book. It felt like the story didn’t really get going until halfway through, but maybe I read the first half in too many sittings. Once it got going it was a really interesting plot with some good twists along the way. 

The settings of the London nightclubs in the 1920s were interesting as they’re  not something I knew anything about. 

The story weaves together gangsters, poverty, murders, police corruption and complicated relationships. 

I liked that there were several strong female characters who were controlling their own destinies, even if I didn’t especially like their life choices.
