Just. Just the detail and the awesome women friendship and ANNA ENGEL and AAAAAH.
And KISS ME HARDY and I didn't stop crying from there until the end.
So you read my review and skygiant's review, right? I love what she says about Verity being the female version of Lord Peter, and that is why I DID NOT SEE IT COMING even though I kind of sort of knew it was coming because a) ELIZABETH WEIN and b) it's telegraphed pretty hard, because Lord Peter always saves the day and lives for the sequel! Also, because of skygiants it is now forever in my headcanon that in fact the Bloody British Intelligence Operator is indeed Lord Peter.
And I must have seen three? reviews before I read it that Verity is an unreliable narrator, and I really wish I hadn't known that before I went in. But I still loved it.
