* Previously published as The Death Beat * 'It had all of the Roaring
Twenties drama and atmosphere, not to mention all of the vices, that
any Jazz Age fan could wish for. In short, it's the bees knees. The
cat's meow' Reader review, 5 stars New York, 1921. Poppy Denby, star
reporter for the Daily Globe is ready to set sail for a new adventure
across the pond and join her boss for a stint at The New York Times.
She can hardly wait for the glitz and glamour of the Big Apple but
instead of scouting out scandalous stories for the Entertainment
pages, she gets stuck on the Death Beat. Writing obituaries isn't
quite the American high life she'd imagined, but when a body is found
in a luxury Lexington Avenue penthouse it's not long before our
intrepid newshound sniffs out an unmissable scoop . . . When cause of
death is marked as 'suspicious, and unexplained' Poppy's reporter
senses are already tingling, and then she discovers that the dead man
is none other than Prince Hans von Hassler of Liechtenstein. Can Poppy
navigate New York's concrete jungle and find the truth before her life
is in danger too? Readers absolutely LOVE Murder on Lexington Avenue!
'This is the third book in the Poppy Denby series, and my favourite so
far' Reader review, 5 stars 'I love the sparkling narrative pace, the
colourful evocation of the era, the accurate description of the
fashions of the time, the way the author blends in real people, and
above all the delightful and engaging principal characters. Now I move
straight on to the next Poppy Denby book!' Reader review, 5 stars
'Entertaining and captivating... It covered some hard-hitting issues
which are still relevant in today's society' Reader review, 5 stars 'A
lighthearted romp though 1920s New York with some serious points to
make which I have no hesitation in recommending as a good read' Reader
review, 4 stars
