Perfect for you if...

  • You love historical mysteries set in the Prohibition era with a dash of glamour and danger.
  • You're drawn to amateur sleuthing duos where the banter crackles as much as the plot twists.
  • You enjoy period radio drama vibes and the seedier underbelly of 1920s Chicago.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer cosy mysteries with low stakes and genteel village settings.
  • You want a primary romantic subplot rather than mystery as the heart of the story.
  • You're looking for something light and breezy rather than genuinely tense.

About this book

The second book in the Viv and Charlie mystery series, Homicide for the Holidays is set during the holiday season in Chicago's radio drama world and its taverns and speakeasies. Rising radio star Vivian Witchell discovers a hidden key, a mysterious envelope filled with cash, and a threatening note in her late father's office—items she never expected to find. When Vivian becomes entangled in trouble, she struggles to navigate her way to safety. With private detective Charlie Haverman's help, she spends the holidays investigating the final weeks of her father's life. Following a trail of clues, her search leads her directly to Al Capone, one of the most notorious mob bosses of the time.
