The dream of a lifetime becomes a nightmare.

Photojournalist Theodora “Teddy” Schafer’s career has hit the skids thanks to rumors of plagiarism. With any luck, a photo spread with Charles Lindbergh at the America First Rally will salvage her reputation. After an attempted assassination of Lindbergh leaves another man dead, Teddy is left holding the gun. Literally. Can she prove her innocence before the police lock her up for a murder she didn’t commit?

Private Investigator Ric Bogart wants nothing to do with women after his wife cleaned out their bank account and left him for another man, but he can’t ignore the feeling he’s supposed to help the scrappy, female reporter who is arrested for murder at the America First rally. Can he believe her claims of innocence and find the real killer without letting Teddy steal his heart?

My Thoughts on Murder at Madison Square Garden

This has to be one of my favorite authors.  She does amazing work around the WWII time era.  I love it!  She researches and gets her history right which is a big thing for me!
 
In Murder at Madison Square Garden we get to meet Teddy the reporter who is already losing her career thanks to rumors of plagiariam.  But now she’s literally left holding a smoking gun and she’s thrust into the fire.  Can she prove her innocense of both charges?
 
Add in one jaded and cynical detective who has been hurt by a woman in his past who for some reason feels that this woman is worth saving. 
 
I loved this book and the characters.  There is some suspense and budding romance to keep the book moving with lots of great history and facts strewn in and around. 
 
If you’re looking for a good read this is definitely one that I recommend.  Really, I recommend all books by this author as I really love them!

Murder at Madison Square Garden

 

Dear readers:

I grew up in New Jersey and often went into New York City for school field trips and family visits. One of my favorite places to go was Madison Square Garden. I have lots of happy memories, so I wondered if I could possibly set a book there. I spent a lovely afternoon digging into the building’s past and learning about the important, historic events that took place there. When I discovered that aviator Charles Lindbergh spoke at the Garden about the controversial topic of U.S. isolationism prior to America’s entry into WWII, I knew I had the beginning of a story.

My protagonist came about during one of my shifts as a volunteer docent at the Wright Museum of WWII. While talking to one of our guests about our wartime print and broadcast journalism display, the conversation turned to the role that women played. Therese Bonney was one of the photojournalists highlighted in the exhibit. As I studied her picture, I was struck by her determination in the set of her jaw and look in her eyes. My protagonist Theodora “Teddy” Schafer was born.

I enjoyed my trip down Memory Lane at the Garden during my research and had fun subjecting Teddy to uncomfortable situations as she tried to prove her innocence. But most of all, I hope her story honors the men and women who served in countless ways during this difficult time in history.

Enjoy Murder at Madison Square Garden.

Linda
