A
Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a
debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for
readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.
Manhattan,
1938. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s
expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite
would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s
dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.
But
fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter
Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute
assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel,
Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria
DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own
connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an
exclusive interview with Gloria.
Then
Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing
Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a
Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer
before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. .

Funny. I have a slow cooker, but I get impatient and usually cook in a Dutch oven on the stove top.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this sounds quite tasty.
I like your slaw. Ranch dressing? I'm surprised.
The ranch dressing was good! Added the creaminess you usually get by adding sour cream to a taco I'm sure you can make these stove top as well.
