I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Aria and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
It's remarkable how men react when women break the rules… but the people of Hastings are about to discover, women can be remarkable too…
- At 28, Violet's father is beginning to fear she will never marry. But every suitor he puts forward, she finds an increasingly creative way of rebuffing.
Because Violet is a woman who knows her own mind – and her mind is on her mother, who went missing 10 years earlier, vanishing from Hastings Pier without a trace.
Looking for the missing is not a suitable pastime for a lady. But when Violet hires a seaside detective to help, she sets off an unexpected chain of events that will throw her life into chaos.
Can Violet solve the mystery of Lily Hamilton's vanishing? Or will trying cost her more than she can afford to lose?
My Opinion
Violet wants to find out to her mother who had disappeared 10 years earlier, she enlists the help of a local detective to discover what happened on that night. Violet is not interested in finding herself a husband much to the annoyance of her father. Whilst this was not a book I would usually have chosen, it is a highly entertaining read.
This book was one of those that while I thought I could put it down, I found myself picking it up a few minutes later to read a few more chapters. The first half of the book is slow, but the pace does pick up.
Rating 4/5
