A review by holtfan
Death Was the Other Woman by Linda L. Richards

3.0

I love the feel of this book. A depression era/hard boiled detective read told (and solved) by "Girl Friday." The main character, Kitty, is a strong female lead. I got a irritated with the continual references to her father. Sometimes it added to her psychology but mostly it added a heavy, depressing element. Otherwise, Kitty is great. I like her relationships with those around her (especially the half-flirty, half-business attitude of a certain boss...)
Sometimes the book felt like it wanted to be historical fiction, other times it plays up the fictional element. Occasionally feels a little cross-purpose.
A fun read, however, with a good mystery.
