This is the second book in The Mitford Murders series. 


Summary:
Set in the mid 1920's, the glamour of the Bright Young Things crashes into the world of The Mitford sisters and their maid Louisa Cannon finds herself at the scene of another murder mystery.


Review:
This was, as the first novel in this series, an enjoyable and entertaining read.

I really enjoyed returning to these characters and seeing what they got up to this time around. I absolutely love the time period and the setting of this and I really felt like I could get lost in this book, which is the best thing! The mystery in here was also very intriguing and I really enjoyed the twists and turns of it. It also includes a notorious girl gang, which was extra fun. 

The characters in here are interesting, especially the main characters. There are a lot of side characters in this story though, not all of whom are equally well developed and I sometimes had a hard time telling them apart. 

Overall though, a very enjoyable and easy book to read, perfect for when you want a bit of escapism.


PS: Like I mentioned in my review of the first book, the fact that the Mitford sisters in here are based on real people is irrelevant, so don't go into these books thinking that these novels are about them, because they're really not.
