The Jazz Club Spy (2023)
Roberta Rich
"A suspenseful historical novel that never loses touch with humanity, The Jazz Club Spy centers on Giddy Brodsky, a funny, tough-talking cigarette girl in a 1930s jazz club, a cosmetics inventor and entrepreneur, a daughter trying to heal her broken family, and a born spy with nervs of steel. From a high-level conspiracy that could push America into war to a homemade recipe for eyeliner - there's nothing Roberta Rich can't do."
A Funny Kind of Paradise (2021)
Jo Owens
"Jo Owens’ achievement is astonishing. She has created a heroine whose zest for life is as unstoppable as her curiosity about the caregivers and patients in her long-term facility, and whose capacity for change is sometimes painful and frequently funny. What a delight to be privy to Francesca’s blunt, ribald, exasperated and tender reactions to a life she never planned."
