Critics Review
This is Ifkovic’s eighth outing with Edna Ferber as sleuth, and he brings the characters of post-Great War Chicago to life: the accents, the clothes, the food, the traditions.

Readers will be front and center for the action, the pain, and Edna’s plans to trap the real killer. – Ilysa M Magnus * Historical Novel Society *
