The Jazz Files (Paperback, New edition)

Introducing Poppy Denby, a young journalist in London during the Roaring Twenties, investigating crime in the highest social circles It is 1920. Twenty-two year old Poppy Denby moves from Northumberland to live with her paraplegic aunt in London. Aunt Dot, a suffragette who was injured in battles with the police in 1910, is a feisty and well-connected lady. Poppy has always dreamed of being a journalist, and quickly lands a position as an editorial assistant at the Daily Globe. Then one of the paper's hacks, Bert Isaacs, dies suddenly and messily. Poppy and photographer Daniel Rokeby (with whom Poppy has an immediate and mutual attraction) begin to wonder if Bert was pushed. His story was going to be the morning lead, but he hasn't finished writing it. Poppy finds his notes and completes the story, which is a sensation. The Globe's editor, realising her valuable suffragette contacts, invites her to dig deeper. Poppy starts sifting through the dead man's files and unearths a major mystery which takes her to France--and abruptly into danger.

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Tue, 29 Dec 2015 | Review by: Joanne S.

I was captivated from the beginning of this well paced story and both my captivation and the pace was maintained throughout the book. The Jazz Files has a mix of characters that you will enjoy, love or despise, and gives a good insight into London in 1920 ( the "well to do" and the working class) and plenty of intrigue to keep you enthralled. I am really looking forward to Poppy's next adventure.
