Period-romance and mystery fans alike will love The Boy in the Red Dress by Kristin Lambert. Millie is running a speakeasy in New Orleans while the owner, her aunt, is out of town. The boy in the red dress, Marion, is the club's star performer, with a massive crowd of adoring fans behind him. A young socialite comes to Millie holding a picture of Marion and asking questions, which Millie doesn't think much of until the girl turns up dead in the courtyard. As all signs point to Marion, Millie must tear her focus away from the club's alluring waitress and dashing bootlegger in order to solve the case.
