Theme and setting of the story:
The setting of this novel is London with its posh areas as well as the impoverished areas. The story takes us into the whole aura of London with a very descriptive portray of its weather, streets, trains, major delicacies and most importantly the fashion industry by the author.

Lula Landry shocked the world when her body was found on the snow covered street of London at 2 am in the morning and the police declared it as a suicide.
