Description
New York, 1924. Vivian Kelly has gotten a job at the Nightingale, a speakeasy known to the young and fun as a place where the rules of society can be tossed aside for a dance and a drink, and things are finally looking up for her and her sister Florence. They might not be living like queens?still living in a dingy two-room tenement, still scrimping and saving?but they're confident in keeping a roof over their heads, and every once in a while, there is fried ham for breakfast. Of course, things were even better before Bea's Uncle Pearlie, the doorman for the Nightingale, was poisoned. Bea has been Vivian's best friend since before she can remember, and though Pearlie's death is ruled a suicide, Bea's sure her uncle wouldn't have killed himself. After all, he had the family to care for...and there have been rumors of a mysterious letter writer, blackmailing Vivian's poorest neighbors for their most valuable possessions, threatening poison if they don't comply. With the Nightingale's dangerously lovely owner, Honor, worried for her employees' safety and Bea determined to prove her uncle was murdered, Vivian once again finds herself digging through a dead man's past in hopes of stopping a killer.

Schellman’s entertaining follow-up to 2022’s Last Call at the Nightingale folds fastidious period detail into a sturdy mystery plot. Vivian Kelly has found gainful employment as a waitress at the Nightingale, an illegal jazz club in Prohibition-era New York City. When Pearlie, a bouncer at the Nightingale and the uncle of its chanteuse, Bea, dies suddenly from arsenic poisoning, the attending doctor rules it a suicide. Bea doesn’t buy it, especially because Pearlie recently told her he’d been working with a mob boss and was about to land a significant payday that would allow him to move their entire family to a better neighborhood. After Vivian pulls some strings to have the death reexamined by authorities, evidence of foul play surfaces—including the disappearance of Pearlie’s cache of money—and she plunges full-throttle into an investigation, aided by the nephew of the NYPD’s police commissioner. Schellman has fun with her chosen setting, sprinkling in welcome bits of period language without succumbing to cliché, and she further establishes Vivian as an ace investigator. Future Nightingale adventures would be welcome. Agent: Whitney Ross, Irene Goodman Literary.

- content: As whispers about the dead abound in a 1920s speakeasy at the start of this audiobook, Sara Young's narration adds to listeners' curiosity. Vivian Kelly, a dancer at the illegal club, begins looking into the death of her friend's uncle, a former customer, with the help of Leo, a shady guy who is also associated with the club. The uncle's death was reported to be a suicide--but Vivian is suspicious. Young makes Vivian sound both determined and nervous, adding to the effectiveness of scenes in which she wheedles answers from reluctant people who may have clues to what happened. Young also captures Vivian's inner conflict as she weighs her romantic feelings for both Leo and Honor, the woman who runs the nightclub. Young's delivery of Schellman's cliff-hangers keeps listeners on the hook. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
