Review: The Mayfair Dagger: A Novel

The Mayfair Dagger: A Novel by Ava January
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

I received an ARC of this book.
The first few pages of this book started off well. But then the writing took an overly florid tone. When characters were introduced with names like Wallop, Lord Grendel, and Spencer Sweetman, I thought perhaps this was going to be a more slightly satirical tongue-in-cheek type of book. But no. Once Albertine made her 3rd stupid decision at only 15% of the book read, I decided I was done. Some may enjoy this. But it was not the clever historical mystery that I was looking for.
