Reporter Poppy Denby is making her way up to Northumberland to celebrate her father''s sixtieth birthday, but first, she can''t resist stopping for a few days in Newcastle, for a quick hello to her favourite Aunt Dot. The infamous suffragette has temporarily moved up and is hosting world-renowned artist and long-time friend, Agnes Robson who is staging an exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery.

by Fiona Veitch Smith

~~5,75€~~ 5,18€ 10% OFF

 * Previously published as The Death Beat * 'It had all of the Roaring Twenties drama and atmosphere, not to mention all of the vices, that any Jazz Age fan could wish for. In short, it's the bees knees. The cat's meow' Reader review, 5 stars New York, 1921. Poppy Denby, star reporter for the Daily Globe is ready to set sail for a new adventure across the pond and join her boss for a stint at The New York Times. She can hardly wait for the glitz and glamour of the Big Apple but instead of scouting out scandalous stories for the Entertainment pages, she gets stuck on the Death Beat. Writing obituaries isn't quite the American high life she'd imagined, but when a body is found in a luxury Lexington Avenue penthouse it's not long before our intrepid newshound sniffs out an unmissable scoop . . . When cause of death is marked as 'suspicious, and unexplained' Poppy's reporter senses are already tingling, and then she discovers that the dead man is none other than Prince Hans von Hassler of Liechtenstein. Can Poppy navigate New York's concrete jungle and find the truth before her life is in danger too? Readers absolutely LOVE Murder on Lexington Avenue! 'This is the third book in the Poppy Denby series, and my favourite so far' Reader review, 5 stars 'I love the sparkling narrative pace, the colourful evocation of the era, the accurate description of the fashions of the time, the way the author blends in real people, and above all the delightful and engaging principal characters.

by Fiona Veitch Smith

~~3,96€~~ 3,56€ 10% OFF

 * Previously published as The Jazz Files, shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger * 'I couldn't stop reading until the end. I would definitely consider the book front page worthy' Reader review, ***** London, 1920. Starry-eyed aspiring reporter Poppy Denby swapped her quiet northern hometown for the Big Smoke to act as companion for her ailing (but ever-sharp) Aunt Dot, a pioneering Suffragette and former West End leading lady. She may only be twenty-two, but Miss Denby knows what she wants and quickly lands a job at the Daily Globe. She expects she's going to have to pull up her stockings and work twice as hard as her male colleagues, but what she is not ready to deal with is... murder. It's only Poppy's first day on Fleet Street when one of the Globe's senior reporters falls to his death from the highest staircase - just moments after receiving a mysterious note. Poppy is tasked with finishing his article involving the mysterious death of a suffragette seven years earlier, about which some powerful people would prefer nothing to be said. As Poppy investigates, she is thrown into a world of hard-drinking newspapermen, flappers and jazz clubs, and learns she must tread very carefully indeed. Luckily, she has her new-found friendship with the terribly dashing Globe photographer Daniel Rokeby who seems terribly eager to lend a helping hand... But first of all, she's got a murder to solve and this might just make the front page... Readers LOVE A Front-Page Murder! 'Fantastic!

The champagne is flowing, the guests look resplendent in their finery, and the jewel in the imperial crown is a glittering Fabergé egg.
