A debut into New York's high society is the dream of any girl, but what happens if you are repeatedly not chosen to be the belle of the ball? Permilia Griswold, a perpetual wallflower, decides to write down her observations in a newspaper gossip column using the pen name of "Miss Quill." When she overhears a threat against Asher Rutherford, a society gentleman who owns a New York department store, she tries to warn him. His disbelief leaves Permilia with no choice but to put herself at risk to save a man she barely knows. It's not long before Asher and Permilia are working together to uncover the deadly plot against him.
VERDICT Turano's (Finding Margo) series debut, laced with humor and populated with eccentric characters, takes an irreverent look at Gilded Age New York. Perfect for those who enjoy a light historical romance.
