Morris Markey moved to New York City to get his first big story.
He got his story by accidentally seeing a woman in a green and silver dress going into the home of the infamous Joseph Elwell.
The woman in green wasn’t the only woman who routinely entered his home, though.
Why is knowing who entered his home at this time significant?
It's significant because when his housekeeper arrived the next morning, she found Mr. Elwell had been shot in the head .
Morris needed to talk to influential people so he could get information for his story, and he went to Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's hotel room to ask for help.
Zelda was eager to help with his investigation and story.
Morris and Zelda worked together with a lot of resistance from anyone they interviewed. They changed their stories and denied saying what Morris had quoted them saying.
Did one of the women who frequented Mr. Elwell's home murder him?
Will they ever find the woman in the green dress?
Was Morris in danger? Seems so since that is the opening page of the book.
The ending wrap-up is great.
I had never heard of Joseph Elwell or Morris Markey, and I looked up more about them.
The mention of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald was fun.
Historical fiction fans will especially enjoy this book because of the meticulous research along with the gorgeous cover. 4/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
