Book description
It's 1943, and the war escalating in Europe and the Pacific seems far away. But for aspiring actress Rosie Winter, the war feels as if it were right in New York City—what with food rationing and frequent blackouts . . . and a boyfriend she hasn't heard word one from…
Why read it?
1 author picked The War Against Miss Winter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book was one of the first historical mysteries I read that was set during World War II.
I love the protagonist, Rosie. She is feisty and a bit of a smart aleck. I connected with her immediately. Rosie is an actress, and because parts are hard to come by during wartime, she finds work as a secretary for a private investigator. When he ends up dead, she takes the case to find out why.
From Joyce's list on historical mysteries with women in non-traditional jobs.
