Review: The Darkness Knows

The Darkness Knows by Cheryl Honigford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Set in 1938 Chicago, this is a fun, cozy mystery about Vivian, a young woman who is starting to rise in the ranks of radio stardom. Having started as a secretary in a radio station, she now plays bit parts and some major ones in famous radio programs.

Viv is a very ambitious woman, and by working, and even more by wanting to be a radio actress, she has gone against the wishes of her rich and well bred mother, who considers that a woman should better find a husband and settle down.

When a famous actress is found murdered, and letters left by the killer point to Vivian being the next victim, the radio owner hires a private investigator who falls for Vivian.

I loved the setting of the book, the description of the cars, the clothes, the places. I didn't like Vivian much, and the romance is quite predictable, but this is a light, fun read, and I'll gladly read the next books in the series.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
