Murder for the Modern Girl

<p><strong>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.</strong></p> <p><em>A ravishing young mind reader stalks the streets at night in kitten heels, prowling for men to murder.</em></p> <p><em>A soft-spoken genius toils away in the city morgue, desperate to unearth the science behind his gift for shapeshifting.</em></p> <p><em>It's a match made in 1928 Chicago, where gangsters run City Hall, jazz fills the air, and every good girl&rsquo;s purse conceals</em> a flask.</p> <p>Until now, eighteen-year-old Ruby's penchant for poison has been a secret. 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. Even more unfortunately: sharp, independent Ruby has fallen in love with him.</p> <p>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 <em>Murder for the Modern Girl</em>&mdash;not to mention killer fashion. An irresistible caper perfect for fans of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, in an exquisite hardcover package with rose-gold foil.</p>
