I get new books sometimes in the knit night bags an very rarely by new books myself, but someone actually gave me this as a gift along with another one in the series. The main character, according to the blurb, is Daisy Dalrymple - journalist. At the moment I seem to be reading a fair few books set in the 20's or 30's so it will beinteresting to see how it compares. I see it has a chapter form the next book at the end - which always annoys me. It's also not the other book I've been given so I hope it's not a series where you need to read them in order.
