I wonder whether 1920s England is the detective fiction realm or what. Agatha Christie's early works are from and take place in that period. That would be my guess. I was thinking detective Noir style things. It did scream murder-mystery, didn't it?

Same, Cruella murdering her mom made me shriek. I wouldn't have minded it if they had cut to the next scene before we'd heard her mother's bloodcurdling screams.

And yes, there was a very Great Gatsby meets Poirot feel to the entire flashback, so I'm sure that we'd find some of the greats there.
