Critic reviews
"Manhattan, beware! Formidable reporter Poppy Danby enjoys a luxury voyage across the Atlantic. Her indefatigable and entertaining search for truth reveals the seediness and glamour of 1920s New York." (Frances Brody, author of the Kate Shackleton mysteries)

A very enjoyable audiobook
An excellent, exciting plot with great characters. I love the historical background and the way the experiences of the rich and poor are interwoven.

Enjoyable stories with historical base
Thoroughly enjoying those novels. If you like old fashioned mysteries that are gripping, but don’t scare the heck out of you, that’s one to enjoy. I also liked that there was more of a romantic angle, than in the last story. Really enjoy the series. Thank you to the author.
