3.5 stars...I received this book from the publisher for review. I was given the uncorrected proof....

Rose Baker is a typist with the New York City Police Department. She is a very plain woman who does what she is supposed to and never what she shouldn't.

One day, a new typist is hired and from the start, Rose was mesmerized by Odalie. Odalie dressed and acted quite differently than Rose. Quite differently from most people that Rose knew.

Odalie and Rose became fast friends. Even moving Rose into her hotel apartment. She immersed Rose in her world and it was that immersion that sent Rose's life into a tailspin.

Set in the 1920's when there was very little work for women and even fewer things for them outside of the home, this book will have you wondering what is going to happen next.

Mar 9, 2018

This is the second book about reporter Jane Ryland and Boston detective Jake Brogan. This time around, Jane is helping a former co-worker find out if she was sent to the wrong woman while trying to track down her birth mother. Meanwhile, she is also covering a murder that Jake is investigating. A woman is found murdered. Two kids under 3, both alive, are in the next room. It looks like a simple domestic dispute except the woman has no ID anywhere in the apartment.

I loved the book. It started fast and never let me go until I reached the end. The characters were great as well, and I had a blast spending time with all of them.

I got the book via Amazon Vine.

OK so after the wait this book finally arrived and I wasn't disappointed. The story continues the day after Run The Risk . And centres around Alice and Reece with all the characters from the last book too and also Trace from A Trace Of Fever

Reece knows Alice is hiding a secret past and would like to get to know her a little better but she blanks him at every opportunity until Alice is drawn to Reece's dog Cash. Reece soon realises that Cash is a bit of a hand full and so asks Alice to help with the dog sitting during the day while he's at work. Alice eagerly agrees and when the bad guys turn up at Reece's apartment its Alice that helps to save the day.

A really good read and I can't wait for the next one, Getting Rowdy
