A generally enjoyable romp with a strong sense of place.

MYSTERY - HISTORICAL FICTION - MURDER MIXED WITH LAUGHTER

Chicago, Chicago my kind of town.....but at the moment it definitely wasn‘t Amos Jansen‘s kind of town since he is being accused of murder.

A history lesson with many names you will want to look up to find out what part they played in America‘s history of unions and civil liberties.

Murder mixed with laughter make this book an historical page turner.

A fun enemies to lovers romance set in old Hollywood.

This quote made me think of a story my mom told me, about her aunt having a permanent wave (with one of these machines!) She was so thrilled with it, she couldn‘t stop brushing her hair, until she‘d brushed out all the wave. Maybe that would have worked for Freda.

I enjoyed the book, but all I can say is, not one character was better off for having known Mr. Knight. 😏

A bit slow going for me, but I ultimately really liked this #PersephoneClub selection.

Whipple has created some wonderful, fully-rounded characters, many of whom aren't particularly sympathetic for lots of the book. The plot seems entirely plausible to me and it's a fascinating and insightful insider sort of look into the rise (and fall) of a “grasping“ family*.

I'd love an entire book about Carrie, please!

love whipple her novels are a real treat and so well written it is a shame she isn‘t widely known but thanks to Persephone we all get to enjoy her wonderful books . Not my favourite but still a fantastic gripping read on the perils of greed poor Celia
