Pearls Poison Park Avenue

A murder at a young ladies' luncheon...and no shortage of suspects. 1925 New York Penelope "Pen" Banks and Constance Gilmore have a notoriously sordid history. Thus, when Constance dies from poisoning at a luncheon for the Young Ladies Historical Preservation Society, Penelope becomes the prime suspect. In order to clear her name, Penelope must wade through the dirt of New York's most elite families, all of whom have nothing on the gangsters and criminals she once consorted with when it comes to being unscrupulous. Along New York City's most famous avenue, secrets, lies, and scandals battle with political ambitions in Penelope's determination to find the true murderer. Pearls, Poison & Park Avenue is the third book in the Penelope Banks Mystery series set in 1920s New York. The enjoyment of a cozy historical mystery combined with the excitement and daring of New York during Prohibition and the Jazz Age.

Christmas 1941 came little more than two weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The shock—in some cases overseas, elation—was worldwide. While Americans attempted to go about celebrating as usual, the reality of the just-declared war was on everybody’s mind. United States troops on Wake Island were battling a Japanese landing force and, in the Philippines, losing the fight to save Luzon. In Japan, the Pearl Harbor strike force returned to Hiroshima Bay and toasted its sweeping success. Across the Atlantic, much of Europe was frozen in grim Nazi occupation. Just three days before Christmas, Churchill surprised Roosevelt with an unprecedented trip to Washington, where they jointly lit the White House Christmas tree. As the two Allied leaders met to map out a winning wartime strategy, the most remarkable Christmas of the century played out across the globe. Pearl Harbor Christmas is a deeply moving and inspiring story about what it was like to live through a holiday season few would ever forget.
