A gutsy Manhattan socialite encounters murder and corruption at the World’s Fair in this captivating historical cozy mystery for readers of Victoria Thompson, Susan Elia MacNeal, and Rhys Bowen. New York City, 1939. A rising star at the Daily Trumpet, Elizabeth “Biz” Adams has been sent to the World’s Fair—billed as the “World of Tomorrow,” a look toward a brighter future even as the drumbeats of war grow louder—to cover a robbery. What she stumbles…

Elizabeth “Biz” Adams is a young photographer for a New York City newspaper, The Daily Trumpet, in 1939. At the World’s Fair, Dupont has a pavilion displaying their new nylon stockings. One of the women that displayed the stockings was found dead with a stocking around her neck. Elizabeth is working with to track down leads so they can get a scoop on the story before the other newspapers. In her personal life, she is making changes. She has plans to move out of her family’s home and get an apartment. She is also interested in Detective Sal Marino who is someone not on her mother’s approved list.

 

The story is written in 3rd person point of view. It moves quickly and was a fast read. I did it feel the characters were deeply developed. This is book 3 in series so it is possible more information was given in previous books. I would classify this as a cozy as opposed to a thriller.
