Welcome to Litsy!

First, I would say this is “thriller-lite” or “diet Thriller”. There are thriller elements but none that will keep you awake at night terrified to turn out the light. This book is based on a true murder in 1920‘s NYC and was so well written I couldn‘t put it down! A true (🤯) whodunit with passionate journalists, Broadway performers, gigolos, corrupt politicians, high society, and everything in between. A definite pick!!

I‘m going to go out on a limb here and say, this is probably one of the last days for my pre-work coffee & reading time outside with the birds before autumn comes with cooler weather 🥺🪺🦜 (P.S. THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD!!!)

I love that it‘s October 1st and you can still wear a summer dress outside 😎😍 I‘ll take this for another few days, but then I‘ll be ready for some cooler, crisp fall days 🍂🍁

First off, ignore that "thriller" subtitle on the cover. Although the plot centers around a murder and some dangerous things happen to some of the characters, this is really more historical fiction. Extensively researched and impressive historical fiction. The murder case the novel is built around is a real cold case.

Most of the characters in the novel were real people. DiVello does an exceptional job of building a true-to-life riveting read.
