Well that was enjoyable. This was my first KJ Charles--I've tried a couple of hers before but never made it far into them; they just never clicked with me. But I liked this one. The plot was sufficiently twisty, the characters were well-drawn, and I am always weak for interwar London as a setting. Enjoyable pulp.

Would like to see a spinoff about Phoebe, who I adore and who is clearly a lesbian (I love a lavender marriage!) and who would make a fantastic protagonist. I now wish Charles wrote more f/f instead of mostly m/m.
