Photographer Kate O’Donnell, fresh from her adventures in Death Trap, discovers that modeling can be murder in Swinging Sixties London.

It’s 1963. A new band called the Rolling Stones is beginning to make its mark and the miniskirt is coming into fashion. For young Liverpudlian photographer Kate O’Donnell, it’s an exciting time to be in the capital—especially as she’s on secondment to an up-and-coming fashion photographer’s studio. But there’s a sordid side to 1960s London, Kate discovers, when the naked, battered body of a teenage prostitute is found amongst the rubbish bins behind a Soho jazz club—and it turns out the victim was a former model at the studio where Kate’s working.

When a second young model disappears, Kate enlists her friend DS Harry Barnard’s help to find out exactly what’s going on. Together, they uncover the first of several dark secrets surrounding Andrei Lubin’s fashion studio and the notorious Jazz Cellar.

“A likable heroine, an unusual plot, and plenty of unexpected twists make for an intriguing read.” —Booklist

“Hall does a fine job of creating a groundbreaking protagonist whose fearlessness coupled with her talent forges a path for future female professionals.” —Library Journal

If you can remember the early 60s, or just want to, this series is a great read

Ms. Hall has put in a lot of research on London in the 1960s, and her decriptions of night clubs, fashion, the emerging Carnaby Street scene are exciting and lively. The problems facing a young woman in the 1960s are still facing working women: sexism, unwanted advances from coworkers, lack of action by authorities. These issues are well handled in this entry in the series, where underage girls are moved into prostitution by a photographer who promises each under aged girl that she will be a model superstar. Kate, the protagonist, relies on her friend in the police force to help her out in uncovering what has happened to one poor would-be model who ends up beaten and dead. The relationship between Kate and her cop are interesting, not straightforward as each has reservations about the other. The cop has evolved a bit over the 3 books and has begun to question his cozy financial relations with crooks, his bad-boy lifestyle, and his swanky but empty apartment. He likes it when Kate comes around, and is surprised at his feelings. Kate is still putting ambition above personal safety and in this book does some really dumb things that move the plot forward but don't reflect well on her maturity or common sense. Hall doesn't five Kate a lot of introspection, and I hope that she will think about that as she develops the character in future books.
