About this listen

When Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan is invited to dine with a millionaire, she doesn't expect the first course to be a gun in her face. It draws her into a gold-plated web of theft, revenge, double crosses, and murder. A big-time swindle has made fools of some of the city's wealthiest businessmen.

The man behind it has vanished. When Maggie begins asking questions, he reappears - dead in the river. But she's already learned too much. Someone's out to silence her too. Armed with her .38 and a nip of gin, Maggie closes in on a killer as a mobster offers a hint, a cop unsettles her with his chemistry, and a woman with deadly potential plays a game by her own rules.

I'm loving this series - in Maggie Sullivan, author M Ruth Myers has created a strong, capable, sassy, quick witted & sharp tongued female PI, and brings to life 1940's depression-era US, with impeccable attention to detail: language, attitudes, fashions etc. Mary Ann Jacobs' narration is perfect, enveloping the listener with Maggie Sullivan's world, and I'm already looking forward to book 3. Brava, ladies!

Loving this series!
