The Impersonator: A Mystery | 
pickThis is a mystery that was so good but not violent. I found myself suspecting everyone and involving myself WAY too much.
A vaudevillian actress is offered the role of a lifetime - impersonate an heiress who vanished years ago, and she (and the heiress‘ uncle) will receive a fortune. But, what happens when Leah, the actress, gets a little too close to the heiress‘ disappearance? This is the first in a mystery series. I haven‘t read this yet, though I have met the author, and she‘s fabulous! #LuckyStar #Movember
pickHere are my #novemberstats. All in all, a very enjoyable (and eclectic) book month.
The Best - The Impersonator
The one I liked least - The Lying Game
Most confusing - I'm sure can guess which one.
I just came from my library #IRL book club tonight. We were discussing the tagged book. I really liked this book and I will continue with the series. The writing put me right there in the 1920s. I enjoyed it a lot and loved the fun twist at the end.
I took the day off of work to decompress from the holiday (people). This rainy afternoon it was a book, a mocha, and a stroopwaffle. Then I watched UP.
Heaven. #introvert #coffeeandabook
I'm sooo over work right now.
Next up is this book for my #IFL book club next week. I went to an author's tea in Mechanicsburg, PA a couple of years ago and met Mary Miley. She was really nice and very knowledgeable about the 1920s. I'm excited to finally read this one.
I know I said I was going to stop doing so many challenges, but I can't seem to resist the #Goodreads #dustybookshelf monthly one. Come join us at the challenge factory!
It‘s the Roaring Twenties in the US, and vaudeville actress Leah is asked to portray a niece to gain a family fortune. The catch? The niece disappeared years ago, and soon Leah finds that someone isn‘t happy with this deception, the person who knows what happened to the niece long ago.
I heard the author speak years ago and bought the book...need to read this soon! #LipstickLies #SeptemberDanes
It was a dark and stormy night and I was at the library, selling books for a few local mystery authors...
The tea and talk were fantastic! I learned a lot about the 1920s and prohibition. Mary was really nice. I'm looking forward to starting this series.
I'm excited to be going to a meet and greet and Tea with Mary Miley. I was on the waiting list but two spots opened up this evening.
I liked this funny quote from this #historicalmystery set in the 1920s.
It was a good week at the #library! I also found this #historicalmystery set in the #1920s. It begins in the world of vaudeville when a woman gets an offer to impersonate a missing heiress. Drawn into the world of the missing girl, she determines to find out what happened to her. #Cozymystery #cozy #mystery #historicalmystery
pickGreat Fun! This clever mystery has all the elements of a ripping good story - lost heiress, a greedy uncle, sinister cousins, and a spunky, likable heroine. Reminiscent of Agatha Christie's work, The Impersonator is a rollicking good read and apparently first in a series. I have a fondness for Old Hollywood mysteries, and I have a feeling that's where Jessie/Leah might be headed. Can't wait to find out!
