This is an OK story but the main character (Jane Carter) who says she is 24 years old, acts more like a 14 year old girl detective. Her father owns the local newspaper so she is not lacking for money. If he can afford to hire a nanny/housekeeper who literally raised Jane from the time her mother died, then Jane has a very cushy life.

This novel was more telling and less showing and there was several errors that editing clearly did not catch!!

I was also disappointed to notice that there was NO mention of what life was really like in the 1920s, other than the occasional mention of Rudolph Valentino. Otherwise the way these girls used their cars and the telephones, was written exactly how a girl in the 1980s would have used her car and the telephone (before the internet and cell phones came out).

All in all, it read just like a contemporary novel, which was quite disappointing. ( )
