 One time machine ticket to 1920s NYC, please! 

Real-life writer Morris Markey befriends Zelda Fitzgerald, and together, they begin to investigate a murder. F. Scott Fitzgerald and other notable figures of the day are entangled in the investigation, as it unfolds within a six-degrees-of-separation society. Mariah Fredericks offers us darkness with moments of lightness, quippy dialogue, and vivid descriptions of New York City as the mystery unfolds. 

Marnye Young’s narration was enjoyable and kept me hanging on, not wanting to press pause! I especially enjoyed her depiction of Zelda as a southern belle gone wild in a big city. 

Thank you to Dreamscape Media for the ALC! #TheGirlintheGreenDress #NetGalley
