A LETHAL LADY Harlem Renaissance, Book 3

An engaging narration by Shayna Small takes listeners into the little-seen world of entitled women artists. It's Paris, 1928, and Black lesbian Louise Lloyd, an amateur detective, is living her dream. Her work as a budding photographer gives her access to an elite group of artists, ambitious women who meet weekly at the exclusive Aquarius club. When member Iris Wright goes missing, Iris's mother asks Louise for help. Louise agrees to try to locate her. When Iris is murdered, Louise struggles with her feelings for her new friends and her conviction that the killer is among them. Small creates a glamorous world of women who will do whatever it takes to get ahead. Her lilting voice and enthusiastic delivery turn this less-than-exhilarating mystery into entertaining listening.
