Murder, She Reported
Murder, She Reported | Peg Cochran
6 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
Peg Cochran brings 1930's New York City to life in this enthralling historical mystery featuring a wealthy young socialite turned tabloid-photographer who lands in the spotlight when a debutante ball turns deadly. It's 1938, the country is pulling out of the Great Depression and women are going to work. Armed with a Wellesley education and a determination to be different, Elizabeth "Biz" Adams takes a job at the reputable paper The Daily Trumpet--though some would call a cheap gossip rag. There she quickly learns that New York City is a much different place outside the gilded cage of her family's Madison Avenue apartment. Tasked to cover debutante balls wasn't what she had in mind, but when things go wrong and someone is murdered, it's Elizabeth's photograph that might implicate the season's "It girl". In an effort to clear the girl's name, Elizabeth takes it upon herself to uncover the truth in an investigation that leads her into the darkest corners of New York and jeopardizes not just her own reputation, but the social standing of her entire family.

Decent historical cozy mystery set in 1930s New York about a society girl with a newspaper job who investigates the murder of a debutant's stepmother.

It‘s National Book Lovers Day! What are you reading? I just finished Murder She, Reported. Biz Adams would rather be a news photographer than a socialite and goes to work as a gal Friday in a newsroom. I enjoyed the 1930s New York setting and the work relationship Biz develops with a seasoned reporter as they solve a murder. #cozymystery #nationalbookloversday #ilovecozies #cozymystery #historicalmystery #orangecovers

JazzFeathers It's available from #NetGalley isn't it? I've been considering whether to request it 6y
SaraRosett @JazzFeathers I‘m not sure. I just bought a copy—it was only 4.99, I think. I enjoyed it! 6y

Mehso-so

I had hoped for better, but this was probably a little less than a so-so for me...not quite a pan.😔 The writing was toooo descriptive (and I like my descriptions!), and the characters and plot just not that engaging. Maybe some cozy readers might enjoy, but just not enough there for me. 3/5⭐️

Thanks to #NetGalley & #RandomHouse for the ARC.

mabell That's disappointing. I had hoped it would be more enjoyable 😕 6y
robinb @mabell me too. 😔 I think my expectations may be too high for books sometimes. Maybe I‘m a book snob??! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤣😩 But seriously I just felt there wasn‘t enough there to hold my interest. 6y
ScientistSam What a shame with that gorgeous cover! 6y
robinb @ScientistSam I know, I fell in ❤️ with that cover! 6y

Up next, a mystery ARC from #NetGalley. The only other Litsy review is not good...at all...but I‘m giving it a fair shot. Cute cover ❤️

mabell It sounds fun! I hope you enjoy it! 6y

My (negative) review: https://tracyrowanwrites.wordpress.com/2018/05/19/review-murder-she-reported-by-...

Amie Bummer. I have an arc of this from netgalley. The things you didn't like sound like they will annoy me, too. 7y
tracyrowanreads I think there were a couple of things which pretty much finish me off in terms of my reaction to the book. I really was willing to cut a new writer some slack, and say yeah it's lightweight and it's cute. That said, we all read things differently, so I say give it your best shot and let me know what you think. 7y

1. Laurel. Apparently I'm too old to hear Yanny.
2. Audiobooks have surpassed music for me. Haven't yet got the podcast bug.
3. No clue.
4. I got my degree in 1974, and have no kids.
5. Congrats to all graduating Littens wherever you are. Life is a weird adventure.
