The mystery surrounding Violet’s mother’s disappearance plays out well, though I felt there were some small issues with the plotting, and the pacing was a little even.

In the beginning we see more of an internal monologue from her and while some of that is nice, it dominated the first half of the book, but by the second half she was way more active and I liked getting to see that side of her and not just always being in her head. I had been set on the idea, but now my attic was filled with the skeletons of half-finished hats, faded botanical specimens and, most tragic of all, dusty portraits of a few worthy occupants of the town. Even knowing that this book was written in the 1940s, though, and from the perspective of someone who vastly benefited from stolen land, coming across that paragraph felt like a slap in the face, and I think future readers should know to expect it.

She’s intelligent, with an inquiring mind and a caustic tongue, and tries valiantly to hold her own against the opposite sex, more often than not succeeding. It didn't work quite as well for me but I've got a stinkinng cold which probably impeded my sense of humour. Part rom-com, part mystery with a little comedy of manners thrown in, No Life for a Lady follows Violet Hamilton who lives with her father in the English seaside town of Hastings.
