not bad

The relationships the main protagonists has would have never existed in the 1920s. Also some phrases like " what makes someone tick" weren't in use before the 1930s. The book has some other shortcomings. It feels like this is the second and not the first book. Because Camille had a important sleuthing case before. Some of Camille's friends seem to be important, but we get little to none background. But a real problem is the absence of the aftermath of the Great War. It's not really mentioned. No brother/husband/uncle, etc.lost, no wounded soldiers begging on the streets, no mentioning of Camille's personal experiences. No book of this time period can ring true ignoring the impact this devastating war still had on people's lives especially only a few years after the armistice. Usually things like that drive me crazy and I might not finish the book. But this book is different because it was nevertheless a very enjoyable, thrilling and truly entertaining read. I couldn't stop listening and that was in big parts due to the great narrator. I understand that she is not everybody's cup of tea. But I thought her gorgeous and enjoyed her range of different voices and accents a lot. Will definitely listen to the other books in this series.
