"An engaging, page-turning mystery that crackles with the wit and shimmering style of the 1920s. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection Named to the Pennsylvania Young Readers Choice List An irresistible caper perfect for fans of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, in an exquisite hardcover package with rose-gold foil.
Waltzing between a supernaturally enhanced romance, the battle to take down a gentleman's club, and loyal friendships worth their weight in diamonds, Ruby brings defiant charm to every page of Murder for the Modern Girl -not to mention killer fashion. Even more unfortunately: sharp, independent Ruby has fallen in love with him. No one knows that she uses her mind-reading abilities to target men who prey on vulnerable women, men who escape the clutches of Chicago "justice." When she meets a brilliant boy working at the morgue, his knack for forensic detail threatens to uncover her dark hobby. Until now, eighteen-year-old Ruby's penchant for poison has been a secret. It's a match made in 1928 Chicago, where gangsters run City Hall, jazz fills the air, and every good girl's purse conceals a flask. A soft-spoken genius toils away in the city morgue, desperate to unearth the science behind his gift for shapeshifting. A ravishing young mind reader stalks the streets at night in kitten heels, prowling for men to murder. Gatsby-era glamour, a swoon-worthy love story, and an indomitable heroine dazzle in this romp that captures the extravagance of the Roaring Twenties and the dangers of vigilante justice.
