Linda H. (ldh652) reviewed Great series on 3/27/2009 + 54 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 7

This, the second in the Daisy Dalrymple series, is just as good as the first -- maybe better. What really impresses me is the author's ability to take the reader to the 1920s without spending a lot of time on historical detail. The characters are so believable, and through their dress, actions, vocabulary, etc. they give the reader a better idea of what it was like in the 20s than anything else could. The other factor to recommend the series is the intelligent relationships. Instead of jumping into a romance between Daisy and Alec, gives a realistic picture of the obstacles and reactions of other people. And, when she could have painted Phil as a charicature, she gave him depth as well. In short, it's a thoroughly enjoyable read.
