About this audiobook
An enticing historical mystery that follows a crime-solving female reporter in the glamorous world of 1920s Manhattan, from the author of The Deep End.
“Sex and the City, circa 1920.” —Kirkus Reviews
This writer just found her next scoop … and it’s deadly.
New York, 1925: Freddie Archer frequents speakeasies and wild parties with her friends Dorothy Parker and Tallulah Bankhead. And the best part is that it’s all in a day’s work. Freddie writes the nightlife column for Gotham Magazine.
But Freddie’s latest piece just won her a bit more attention than she bargained for—from the police. A man mentioned in her column has been murdered. And Freddie is asked to keep an eye out for his fashionable female dinner companion. She’s told in no uncertain terms to stay out of the case herself.
So naturally, Freddie throws herself into an investigation that takes her from the elegant stores that line Fifth Avenue to the tenements south of Houston Street. Now, between sipping gin rickeys with Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald and casting Broadway shows with Groucho Marx, she’s dodging bullets and dating a potentially dangerous bootlegger.
Freddie wanted adventure and excitement. But will she survive it?

In the roaring twenties, journalist Freddie lives a life of speakeasies and celebrity encounters. But her glamorous world is shattered when a man mentioned in her column is murdered. Drawn into a dangerous investigation, Freddie must navigate the city’s glittering facade and dark underbelly to uncover a killer. This entertaining and intriguing mystery has a gritty underworld feel. I enjoyed the audio narration. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
