Murder in Manhattan

De: Julie Mulhern

Narrado por: Caroline Hewitt

Inspired by one of the first real-life female columnists at the New Yorker, this enticing historical mystery follows Freddie Archer as she solves crimes while reporting on the glamorous world of the rich and famous in 1920s Manhattan.

This writer just found her next scoop . . . and it’s deadly.

New York, 1925 - Freddie Archer frequents speakeasies and wild parties and the newest restaurants with her friends Dorothy Parker and Tallulah Bankhead. And the best part is that it’s all in a day’s work. Freddie loves her job writing the nightlife column for Gotham Magazine.

But Freddie’s latest piece just won her a bit more attention than she bargained for—from the police. A man mentioned in her column has been murdered. And Freddie is asked to keep an eye out for his fashionable female dinner companion. She’s told in no uncertain terms to stay out of the case herself.

So naturally, Freddie throws herself into an investigation that takes her from the elegant stores that line Fifth Avenue to the tenements south of Houston Street. Now between sipping gin rickeys with Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald and casting Broadway shows with Groucho Marx, she’s dodging bullets and dating a potentially dangerous bootlegger.

Freddie wanted adventure and excitement. But will she survive it?

Glamour, Glitz with a twist, lemon or lime?

I absolutely adore all of Julie Mulhern’s Country Club Murder books! She can always transport us, either to the present, the 70s, or now the 20s with elegance and style! I look forward to hopefully another one in the series! I also thought the reader/actor did a fabulous job! Thank you for writing

Excellent story!

I love all of Julie Mulhern’s work, but this was my favorite. Story, plot, excellent description. Smart, funny. I hated to see it end! The performance by the reader was excellent. Can’t wait for the next one!
