Review

"Back from a long-ago prequel in her hometown(Escape Artist, 2011, etc.), formidable author Edna Ferber returns to the 1950s and to her most unlikely avocation: amateur sleuthing."--Kirkus Reviews

"A host of Hollywood and Broadway personalities from Hedda Hopper to George S. Kaufman provide period color as a sharp-witted Edna probes for the reason behind Maxs murder." --Publishers Weekly
This is a thoroughly charming mystery. Edna Ferber makes a wonderful sleuth[,] and readers will be entranced by her plucky spirit and sharp-witted investigative skills. --Booklist Starred review for Escape Artist
