This Dame for Hire by Sandra Scoppettone

happy_hiker's review against another edition

4.0

I liked the sense of time and place created in both this book and in the second of the series "Too Darn Hot." I also like the protagonist, Faye Quick, a female PI working on her own in the 1940s. In this book, I didn't find the killer's identity entirely surprising, but the motive and the discussion of some issues that I would have assumed were not talked about in the 1940s in the US added some spice.

A cute quick read. A murder mystery set in the early 40's. The main character is a female private detective, who is sassy and smart. The author did well researching the lingo and setting of NYC in that era.
