![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Don't start this novel at night if you need your beauty sleep-you'll stay up to all hours devouring its pages." -Alice LaPlante, New York Times bestselling author of Turn of Mind "As you read this remarkable first novel you will feel the room temperature drop. She captures it quite well, while at the same time spinning a delicate and suspenseful narrative about false friendship, obsession, and life for single women in New York during Prohibition." - Booklist "If you liked Gone Girl, you might enjoy …The best book I've read so far this summer."- Greenwich Time "Totally addictive."- The Atlantic Wire "This eerie and compelling debut is a riveting page-turner, narrated by a strangely hypnotic yet dubious young woman who works as a typist for the NYPD in the 1920s. A deliciously addictive, cinematically influenced page-turner, both comic and provocative." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Rindell's debut is a cinematic page-turner." - Publishers Weekly "With hints toward The Great Gatsby, Rindell's novel aspires to recreate Prohibition-era New York City, both its opulence and its squalid underbelly. "Take a dollop of Alfred Hitchcock, a dollop of Patricia Highsmith, throw in some Great Gatsby flourishes, and the result is Rindell's debut, a pitch-black comedy about a police stenographer accused of murder in 1920s Manhattan. ![]()
