I am so enjoying Shrines of Gaiety. The author’s ability to weave a plot within a plot, the development of her many characters, and her ability to amuse while ensconcing you in intrigue are all the things that keep me saying “bravo” as I near the end. I don’t want to rush to get it over because it is flawed or too long. I want to finish it soon so I can read another Atkinson novel. Bravo!
