I really like Fiona Davis. I enjoyed this novel, but it wasn't one of her best.

I love Fiona Davis’ books, and this one incorporates all that historical fiction should be, leaving us lessons to learn for today. Maxine and Hazel meet at the end of World War II while entertaining troops. A friendship is formed, which will be tested over time, particularly as the McCarthy era challenges loyalties in film and Broadway. A must read.

Good clean historical fiction. Minus the espionage. What a beautiful story of friendship during such a terrible time in American history. If only innocent until proven guilty was a true thing.

This was a quick read that easily sucked me in and kept me guessing. It was a very interesting viewpoint of the time period.
