Mystery Historical | Mystery Woman Sleuth
It's 1943, and the war escalating in Europe and the Pacific
seems far away. But for aspiring actress Rosie Winter, the
war feels as if it were right in New York City—what with
food rationing and frequent blackouts . . . and a boyfriend
she hasn't heard word one from since he enlisted in the
navy. Now her rent is coming due and she hasn't been cast in
anything for six months. The factories are desperate for
women workers, but Rosie the Thespian isn't about to become
Rosie the Riveter, so she grabs a part-time job at a seamy,
lowbrow detective agency instead. However, there's
more to the Big City gumshoe game than chasing lowlife
cheating spouses. When her boss turns up dead, Rosie finds
herself caught up in a ticklish high society mystery,
mingling with mobsters and searching for a notorious missing
script. Maybe she has no crime-fighting experience—but Rosie
certainly knows how to act the role. No matter how the war
against Miss Winter turns out, it's not going to end with
her surrender! Evocative, entertaining, and
wonderfully original, Kathryn Miller Haines's War Against
Miss Winter introduces not only an unforgettable new
sleuth but also an exciting new voice in the mystery genre,
with a fast-paced tale of murder and deception that brings
the World War II era vividly to life.
