3 and a half

The Jazz Files is a pretty good book. It starts off slowly but the plot picks up pace after few chapters. I will get the next book.

Excellent

Such a good book. Well written, great setting, exciting times, interesting history. What I love most is that all the main characters have a stake in the truth being revealed. It keeps the reader emotionally invested on every page.

The narrator also does an excellent job. it's easy to follow a conversation, the accents works, and no one sounds ridiculous.

Highly recommend!

Fabulous 1920s mystery!

Great heroine, terrific plot that was suspenseful and kept you guessing. Action packed and full of the music and clothes and fun of the 1920s. If you like Phrynie Fisher, Amelia Peabody, and Daisy Dalrymple or The Royal Spyness series you’ll love this. Can’t wait to read more in the series!
