A Poisonous Silence (Deadly Twenties Mysteries, Bk. 2)

Philadelphia, 1921. Private investigator Edie Shippen has officially started her new career—despite not yet booking a client. When her childhood friend Ava Sylvester, a film actress, asks for help after her husband’s sudden death, Edie finds herself drawn into a glittering world of silent-film glamour and high society. But when the victim shows signs of poisoning and the studio is filled with secrets, Edie’s investigation becomes perilous.

With the body count rising, Edie and coroner’s assistant Gilbert Lawless must uncover the killer before the cameras roll on a tragedy. Set against a rich backdrop of Prohibition-era socialites, gangsters, and the bright lights of the silver screen, this second entry in the Deadly Twenties Mysteries blends romance, intrigue, and old Hollywood danger.
