(Deadly Twenties Mystery, book 1)
Jenny Adams
"Adams has created a beautiful, messy, utterly believable world that is so very satisfying to sink into - a shell-shocked country where everyone is dancing as fast as they can in the hopes they can convince themselves they're not falling to pieces. You'll end up dancing right along with her pair of fractured heroes, as invested in their desperate attempt to rebuild themselves as you are in finding the killer. It's a glittery, Jazz Age cocktail of gin and champagne and blood that feels startlingly modern in the best of ways."
