Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A desperate girl. A dead matron. A detective with secrets of his own.
It's Chicago, 1935, and ever since the Crash and her father's subsequent suicide, Henrietta Von Harmon has been left to care for her antagonistic mother and seven younger siblings. In desperation, Henrietta takes a job as a taxi dancer at a local dance hall. Just as she's beginning to find her footing, however, the floor matron turns up dead. When the aloof Inspector Clive Howard arrives to investigate, he persuades Henrietta to go undercover-plunging her deeper into Chicago's gritty underworld.
As Henrietta and the impenetrable Inspector reluctantly join forces, they find themselves drawn to each other in ways they didn't expect. But will their growing attraction-along with the misplaced efforts of a lovestruck neighborhood boy-thwart their hunt for the real killer before it's too late?
Perfect for readers who enjoy clever historical mysteries featuring an age-gap romance, class-divide love story, undercover investigations, a working-class heroine, and a wounded war veteran hero with a protective streak.
Fans of Downton Abbey who love a good mystery-with plenty of romance and a dash of 1930s atmosphere-will devour this series.
★ Henrietta and Clive are a sexy, endearing, and downright fun pair of sleuths. -Library Journal (starred review)
★ Fans of spunky, historical heroines will love Henrietta Von Harmon. ―Booklist, starred review
