It's 1915 in New York City and an intrepid young journalist is
about to get her biggest story yet...The Lusitania has just been
sunk, and headlines about a shooting at J.P. Morgan's mansion and
the Great War are splashed across the front page of every
newspaper. Capability "Kitty" Weeks would love nothing more than to
report on the news of the day, but she's stuck writing about
fashion and society gossip over on the Ladies' Page - until a man
is murdered at a high society picnic on her beat. Determined to
prove her worth as a journalist, Kitty finds herself plunged into
the midst of a wartime conspiracy that threatens to derail the
United States' attempt to remain neutral - and to disrupt the
privileged life she has always known. The first book in a highly
anticipated mystery series featuring rising journalism star Kitty
Weeks packed full of historical detail, A Front Page Affair is
perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Jacqueline Winspear Praise for A
Front Page Affair'A delightfully spunky heroine defies convention
as an investigative reporter in this engaging historical mystery.
The small factual details of New York life are gems' Rhys Bowen
'This lively and well-researched debut introduces a charming
historical series and an appealing fish-out-of-water sleuth who
seeks independence and a career in an age when most women are bent
on getting married, particularly to titled Englishmen. Devotees of
Rhys Bowen's mysteries will enjoy making the acquaintance of Miss
Weeks.' Library Journal 'The fascinating historical details add
flair to this thoroughly engaging mystery starring an intelligent
amateur sleuth reminiscent of Rhys Bowen's Molly Murphy. Vatsal's
debut will leave readers eager for Kitty's next adventure.'
Booklist 'The mystery plot was enthralling in and of itself, but it
was the portrait of Old New York that provided the wow factor -
there are very few writers who can conjure up this kind of
authenticity. A fun, fascinating, feminist read - especially if you
love New York!' Reader review 'It is very rare to find a debut
novel so well written and so engrossing' Reader review
