Critics Review
“This book is sparkling and witty and breezy. I can’t help but feel this would make a brilliant TV series. I eagerly await the next installment of Freddie’s dazzling life!”
–Smart Bitches, Trashy Books
“Writing with a snappy sense of wit, Mulhern offers readers a marvelously madcap protagonist with moxie to spare, as well as a fascinating cast of supporting characters that includes historical figures such as Dorothy Parker, Tallulah Bankhead, and Groucho Marx. Plenty of deftly handled period details enhance the Prohibition-era setting of this novel that neatly blends historical fiction, mystery, and a dash of romance into one splendidly entertaining plot. Fans of Susanna Calkins’s Gina Ricci books or Nekesa Afia’s Harlem Renaissance mysteries (or even readers old enough to fondly remember K. K. Beck’s splendid Iris Cooper series) will find Mulhern’s captivating new book to be the cat’s pajamas.”
–Library Journal, starred review
“Sex and the City, circa 1920. Mulhern gives Freddie a host of colorful characters to play off, but her spirited heroine is clearly the star of the show.”
–Kirkus Reviews“Mulhern launches a snappy historical series centered on 1920s nightlife columnist Winifred “Freddie” Archer. Immersive, fast-paced, and entertaining, this promises good things to come. “
–Publishers Weekly
“A page-turning trip to 1920s Manhattan with real-life celebrities and a spunky heroine as a guide.”
–Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author
