A Front Page Affair

A Front Page Affair by Radha Vatsal


4 Stars for the book A Front Page Affair by Radha Vatsal. I’d also like to thank NetGallery for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

I am such a fan of the Molly Murphy series by Rhys Bowen, fans of Ms. Bowen will enjoy this book as I was pleasantly surprised that in this new series by Radha Vatsal, that my dear Molly will have a friend. If you like/love historical fiction with a little mystery thrown in, then this is the book for you.

The characters are well develop, the story moves along at a nice pace, and will keep you reading long into the night. You might want to call in sick the next day at work. Lol. I love the fact that the character is working for a newspaper in 1910, when women weren’t accepted into this kind of work force. Kitty is assigned to covering “women’s” new, like the latest fashions, society parties, recipes, and who’s who in the world of money, eligibility, and the latest gossip. This isn’t what Kitty saw her doing; she wanted to write about the sinking of the Lusitania, the verge of the US going into WWI, anything that is news worthy.

Kitty is assigned to cover the Independence Day event. While at the celebration, a murder happens. Kitty is overjoyed that she was not only there to break the story, but also to help cover the story. She begins her own investigation into who would kill Hunter Cole, and more importantly, why?
Kitty has a good education, a smart girl, a strong backbone, confident, independent. She can have a temper that would scare a rattlesnake to seek cover, determined and can stand up for herself. She can hold her own against any of her male co-workers, she had dreams. At times she can be a little naïve, immature, headstrong, but all in all, she is an all-around good person.

I am looking forward to the next installment into this series, and I would recommend this to everyone to read, even for just shear enjoyment.
