Reviews

ForA Girl Like You:

Michelle Cox masterfully recreates 1930s Chicago, bringing to life its diverse neighborhoods and eclectic residents, as well as its seedy side. Henrietta and Inspector Howard are the best pair of sleuths Ive come across in agesCox makes us care not just about the case but also about her characters. A fantastic start to what is sure to be a long-running series.
Tasha Alexander, New York Times best-selling author of The Lady Emily Mysteries

Fans of spunky, historical heroines will love Henrietta Von Harmon.
Booklist, starred review

Flavored with 1930s slang and fashion, this first volume in what one hopes will be a long series is absorbing. Henrietta and Clive are a sexy, endearing, and downright fun pair of sleuths. Readers will not see the final twist coming.
Library Journal, starred review

ForA Ring of Truth:

An engaging and effective romp rich with historical details.

Set in the 1930s, this romantic mystery combines the teetering elegance of Downton Abbeyand the staid traditions of Pride and Prejudicewith a bit of spunk and determination that suggest Jacqueline Winspears Maisie Dobbs.

IBPA, Independent Book Publishers Association

Cox draws textured visuals of a 1930s Chicago mansion replete with cherrywood drink carts, embroidered goose down pillows, brand new wireless radios, Worth gowns, Rothschild coats, and the music of Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and Tommy Dorsey. It puts us back in the romantically turbulent 1930s Chicago. This engaging story charms us.
