A murder mystery centering around a New York speakeasy during prohibition sounded like a book I definitely needed to read. Vivian Kelly spends her days working at a dress shop and her nights dancing for hours at the Nightingale. So when she discovers the body of a man in the alley behind the Nightingale, which is followed by police raid that may put everything she loves about the Nightingale in jeopardy, Vivian has to investigate the murder and find out who is behind it.
I enjoyed the mystery aspect of the book, but felt like some portions of the book could have been tightened up a little. The interactions between Vivian and her sister at times felt like it was the same conversation over and over about Vivian going out and her sister disliking it. I know that it is important to the storyline, but just felt those interactions could have been slightly shorter. I liked Vivian's character and it was fun to read about a strong woman during that time period.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read full of memorable diverse characters. I received this book through NetGalley courtesy of the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
