About this audiobook

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, twenty-year-old 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 learning to navigate this dangerous new world, 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 with a killer still on the loose and their growing attraction threatening to compromise everything, can they unmask the murderer before Henrietta becomes the next victim?


★ “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)


★ “Henrietta and Inspector Howard are the best pair of sleuths I’ve come across in ages.”―Tasha Alexander, New York Times bestselling author


★ “A deliciously written cloak and dagger affair.”—Readers Favorite

It simply made me smile. It was a charming detective story in the old-fashioned style. I thoroughly enjoyed how there was no need for foul language, violence, explicit sex scenes, graphic murder, or anything of any nature like this needed to make this book. Yet, the book was still fantastic. It allows the reader to use imagination instead of a smut filled book. The character development was great, and the interaction between the characters I loved. I often found myself chuckling or rolling my eyes as I was reading, and at one point, I was attempting to warm the main character. 😅 Worth reading! Recommended 👍 📚📚📚📚

The book itself was well written, complex characters. I really enjoyed it. However, the narrator bothered me a bit. She gave New Jersey accents to many of the characters, regardless of the book being set in Chicago and the fact that some of those characters were from Missouri or Arkansas. That was a bit irritating. Also, she made Henrietta sound impish and whiny through most of the book, which I think was a discredit to the character. But, all in all, the book was intriguing.
