About this listen
1920. Poppy Denby, an aspiring journalist, arrives in London to look after her ailing aunt. She encourages Poppy to apply for a job at The Daily Globe, but on her first day, a senior reporter is killed and Poppy is tasked with finishing his story. It involves the mysterious death of a suffragette seven years earlier - an event some powerful people would prefer forgotten....
Through her friend Delilah, Poppy is introduced to the giddy world of London in the Roaring Twenties. Will she make it as a journalist in this fast-paced new city? And will she be able to unearth the truth before more people die?

What an absolute delight.
Having loved all 17 Posie Parker novels by LB Hathaway - I came across poppy Denby’s first story and it’s terrific - I am about to start book 2! I am astonished that the publishers called time on the series after 6 books - a dreadful decision in my eyes. This is a really good listen - highly Recommend.

Great story
So pleased to have found the Poppy Denby books. Thoroughly enjoyed the narration and The Jazz Files has sparked a renewed interest in the Suffragettes.

Fast paced and great characters
Poppy is a brilliant character and we see life in London in the 1920s through her eyes. She’s brave and intelligent but likes to have fun too. The plot brought in many interesting historical figures and raced along at a fast pace. I’d definitely read more.

Jazz Files
The narrator found the right tone for each character without overdoing accents. Poppy blossoms into her new role as the pace of the book skips along. very enjoyable listen with a balance of facts and fiction.

Pleasantly Suprised
I expected just another cosy woman sleuth story - which I love and would have been very happy with - but this was more serious and suspenseful. It was a nice change from what I normally listen to.
