The best book I've read so far this summer."- Greenwich Time "If you liked Gone Girl, you might enjoy. She captures it quite well, while at the same time spinning a delicate and suspenseful narrative about false friendship, obsession, and life for single women in New York during Prohibition." - Booklist "With hints toward The Great Gatsby, Rindell's novel aspires to recreate Prohibition-era New York City, both its opulence and its squalid underbelly. Ripley in this psychological thriller by first-time author Rindell."-Los Angeles Public Library's Best Fiction of 2013 "It's The Great Gatsby meets The Talented Mr. "Rindell's debut is a cinematic page-turner."- Publishers Weekly ![]() "Take a dollop of Alfred Hitchcock, a dollop of Patricia Highsmith, throw in some Great Gatsby flourishes, and the result is Rindell's debut, a pitch-black comedy about a police stenographer accused of murder in 1920s Manhattan.A deliciously addictive, cinematically influenced page-turner, both comic and provocative."- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "From the first page was absorbed.Suzanne Rindell's story of a 1920s police stenographer who becomes increasingly obsessed with a glamorous new typist reminds me at points of Notes on a Scandal and Patricia Highsmith, but has creepy charms all its own."- The Paris Review ![]()
