What readers say
Readers like these 1920s historical cozies for their spunky, resourceful heroine, vivid period detail, light witty tone and a romance that stays in the background while the mystery gets solved. Many compare them to Agatha Christie and enjoy the suspect-filled plots, and reviewers on a retailer-review site call it a pleasant, Columbo-like read. Common criticisms are repetitive plots in later books, editing slips and anachronisms, a privileged heroine, an overbearing love interest, implausible sleuthing and short entries that feel like novellas. The time-travel installment split readers.
Best for: Readers who want light, Christie-style 1920s cozies with a plucky amateur sleuth and don't mind a formula.
