Radio star Vivian Witchell gets a broadcast-worthy drama for Christmas when she discovers a dangerous family secret The second book in the acclaimed Viv and Charlie mystery series, Homicide for the Holidays is a riveting holiday mystery set amidst the glitz of Chicago's radio drama scene and the grime of its taverns and speakeasies. A hidden key that opens a drawer locked for the past eight years, a mysterious envelope filled with cash, and a threatening note... none of this is what rising radio star Vivian Witchell expects to find in her late father's office. But when Vivian stumbles into trouble, she hardly knows how to steer herself back to safety. With the handsome and maddeningly practical private detective Charlie Haverman at her side, Vivian spends the holiday season uncovering the details of the last weeks of her father's life, following a sinister trail of clues that leads her directly to one of the most notorious mob bosses of all time, Al Capone.
"The second book in this series is even better than the first! Vivian's quest to uncover her family's darkest secrets will keep you turning pages long into the night. The 1930s come to vivid life in this period mystery that is rich in detail and chock full of questionable characters" - Victoria Thompson, bestselling author of Murder in the Bowery
