In the midst of my usual heavy load of assigned reading, I constantly found myself sneaking chapters from this book instead. From the beginning Odalie is using Rose, and while I won't go so far as to say she "sets her up" to commit Teddy's murder, she certainly manages to set her up to take the fall for it. As Rose quickly falls under the stylish, coquettish Odalie’s spell, she is lured into a sparkling underworld of speakeasies and jazz. Her eyes are open, she's finally able to drop the I-miss-the-days-of-Victorian-sisterhood act, and become a new, terrifyingly "modern" woman. There's little doubt she had some kind of anxiety attack or she would've told somebody about Odalie and cleared herself.So 5 stars is what I am rating this novel because I really enjoyed it and I think it will make a great summer read.

Rose in particular is captivated by Odalie and flattered that this lovely creature has taken an interest in her. There were other instances in the book that reminded me of throw backs to the Romantic Era of literature. Indeed, Rindell pays explicit homage in an epilogue which, like the end of The Good Soldier, features the use of a suddenly produced penknife.

Before too long, they are the best of friends, navigating a dual life of police work during the day and speakeasies when the day winds down. yet at the same time we'd managed to make a generational career out of pretending virginal adolescence. Her version of an unreliable narrator is less deft and layered than either of those books, but she has nonetheless constructed a suspenseful story with a propulsive pace.It's not hard to see right through Odalie, even before she has made her debut in the novel's events. I want to believe this psychiatrist because "reality" has to be anchored somewhere in this book, and he's a likely place for it.

An orphan raised by nuns, she is prim, repressed and smugly considers herself an astute observer of human nature. I loved taking a step back into the 1920s, and the author did a fine job bringing that decade to life.
