About
You may enjoy this if you want breezy period mysteries with a playful tone, somewhere between Murdoch Mysteries and Private Eyes; Not for you if you want strict historical realism or deeply complex cases.
Pros: light cozy mysteries; fun 1920s atmosphere; lively supporting cast | Cons: uneven lead performance; thin predictable cases; shaky historical accuracy
