Murder in Manhattan - by Julie Mulhern (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Inspired by one of the first real-life female columnists at the New Yorker, this enticing historical mystery follows Freddie Archer as she solves crimes while reporting on the glamorous world of the rich and famous in 1920s Manhattan.

Freddie Archer is the epitome of the 1920s flapper, stylish, newly empowered, and always up for a good time. After all, spending her evenings at shows and in speakeasies is her job while writing Gotham Magazine's popular nightlife column under the pseudonym "A Touch of Rouge." But lately her brilliant evenings are being shadowed by death.

When Freddie spots a familiar, couture-clad woman fleeing a murder scene, she does just what NYC Detective Sullivan told her not to do. She gives chase, entangling herself in the underworld of brothels, mob bosses, theatre, and high fashion. With a chance at true love, professional respect, and a hand in the next big Groucho Marx production, Freddie must unravel the mystery before the killer closes in on her.
