The Christmas Tree Murders by Andrea HicksMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
DNF at 9%.
I know, I know, how can I DNF at 9%? I'm sorry but this is supposed to be the first book in a series but it harks back to a previous investigation. By page 29 we have been told TWICE that Camille's husband Henry is known as Harry. The book screams anachronisms, for example Camille, the former Lady Divine, lends her servant clothes and takes her to the theatre with her daughter FFS. The characters are caricatures. Camille says she loved Harry until he dumped her for his mistress, but frankly he seems to be a chauvinist pig (even for the unenlightened 1920s) so it is difficult to understand what she ever saw in him.
Anyway, I didn't like the writing style, I didn't warm to the characters so I DNF.
