★ “Richly detailed descriptions . . . the charming characters and the intricately plotted mystery will have readers ready for the next installment. A great suggestion for fans of Anne Perry, Jacqueline Winspear, Elizabeth Peters, and Rhys Bowen”
– Booklist, Starred Review of A Poisonous Silence
“Sparkling prose, deft plotting, a vivid setting, and a captivating mystery are brilliant feathers in A Deadly Endeavor‘s stylish cap, but the charming, complex characters elevate it to a bona fide knockout. Adams has crafted real gems in the heartbroken yet irrepressible duo of Edie Shippen and Gilbert Lawless, whose chemistry crackles like fireworks. This book is an utter delight.”
“Adams has created a beautiful, messy, utterly believable world that is so very satisfying to sink into.… It’s a glittery, Jazz Age cocktail of gin and champagne and blood that feels startlingly modern in the best of ways.”
“Daring. Delightful. Dangerous . . . Atmospheric and gorgeous. Jenny Adams weaves beautiful human characters and an incredible mystery, culminating in an impeccable whodunit.”
