I really enjoyed this old fashioned mystery with the Queens of the genre, lead by Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie and three other female writers from the same era. In a nutshell, being newly welcomed in a group of male amateur sleuth, our group fell victim of the usual sexism of the period. They decide the try solving a prominent murder in the news to put those ignorant men to their places and show them their skills and competence in crime solving. You then embarked in a relentless search and teamwork at is bests. It made me discover these larger then life crime writers that I never heard about. The writing was well rounded with a flare of the past, perfect match for the period depicted. I recommend as a cozy mystery.
Thank you #netgalley and #macmillanaudio
