Library Journal's Mystery Pick of the Month "[A] riveting standalone. Fredericks brings the period to life beautifully, and the often-caricatured Zelda never feels less than three-dimensional. Add in an enthralling investigation and a complex, fame-hungry lead, and it's undeniable: Fredericks has struck gold."-- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Fredericks's new historical mystery is a roaring good time."-- Library Journal (Starred Review) "Markey's intense but platonic relationship with Zelda is particularly compelling: Fredericks' Zelda all but dances off the page."-- Kirkus Reviews "Fredericks brings history to life through the eyes of a lesser mortal who is thrust into the world of the rich--and in this case, the notorious--and as in her previous works, succeeds brilliantly."--firstCLUE "Lyrical, rich in period details of the gaudy Jazz Age, and unnervingly timely, The Girl in the Green Dress is a masterful mix of history and fiction. Writer Morris Markey and Zelda Fitzgerald's hunt for the ravishing but possibly lethal lady in green is an pointed metaphor for our almost indecent desire for the glitter of money, spectacle, and fame--and the dark and violent shadows of the American dream.
"--Susan Elia MacNeal, New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series "At the heart of Mariah Fredericks' gripping The Girl in the Green Dress lies an imagined adventure for the inimitable Zelda Fitzgerald. The famous (and infamous) Zelda joins forces with fellow Southerner and journalist Morris Markey, and together they plunge into the glittering and sometimes gritty world of Jazz Age New York City as they investigate the murder of gambler Joseph Elwell. A riveting, unexpected tale."--Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of Queens of Crime "Adding Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald to a murder mystery can only enhance it, as Zelda would surely agree. Mariah Fredericks is a compelling storyteller with a vivid imagination, imbuing The Girl in the Green Dress with all the sparkle and brilliance of the Zelda that readers adore."--Erika Robuck, national bestselling author of Call Me Zelda.
