Songbird by Gail Meath (Book Review #1224)

Songbird is a historical mystery and is book one of the Jax Diamond Mystery series. Jax Diamon Is a private detected and is investigating a playwright’s death. When Laura Graystone, a Broadway star, gets involved in the investigation, things take a turn for both of them, creating an exciting crime story.

I enjoyed the time frame of the story. I knew from the cover that I was expecting to be reading a story in the 1920s. Laura was an interesting character. She was the New York Times songbird, and as the layers of the story revealed themselves, her character became all the more exciting to read.

If you are into a murder mystery and like historical fiction, you will enjoy this book. I enjoyed reading the story. The dynamic between Jax and Laura kept you wanting to know more.

Since the book is part of a series, it leaves enough for you to read along and provides enough closure to keep you satisfied.

I recommend this book to those who like to read captivating mystery stories.
