Freshly widowed Lola Woodby—a young society matron with a weakness for cocktails and sweets—discovers her late husband has left her nothing but a pile of debt. So when one of his mistresses offers a monetary reward in exchange for pilfering a mysterious reel of film, Lola (and her loyal cook, Berta) embark on an ill-advised retrieval mission. Soon the pair find themselves entangled with Hollywood stars, bootlegging gangsters, an annoyingly handsome private eye…even a murder or two. Set in Prohibition-era New York, this breezy period mystery is like a perfect highball—fizzy and refreshing with just the right amount of bite!
