Cheryl Honigford has always loved old-time radio (and classic movies) and claims to have the nagging suspicion that she was born at least fifty years too late. She has a degree in journalism from Ohio State University and lives in northern Illinois with her husband and six-year-old daughter.
"You'll thoroughly enjoy this delightful debut mystery that takes
you into the highly competitive world of radio in the 1930s, where
people will literally kill for a good part! Cheryl Honigford
recreates this time period with a delicious attention to detail and
populates it with characters you will love... or love to hate!" -
Victoria Thompson, bestselling author of Murder in Morningside
Heights

"Honigford... excels in capturing the flavor of the golden age
of radio and Depression-era Chicago. Viv and Charlie make a
charming couple as they feud and fight and then discover they have
a lot in common. There isn't quite as much drinking as in Dashiell
Hammett's The Thin Man, but this duo may be the next Nick and Nora
Charles." - Library Journal
"Honigford's atmospheric first novel, a series debut, brings to
life the world of radio in 1938 Chicago." - Publishers Weekly
"Murder with a hint of romance and scandal introduces readers to
the Viv and Charlie Mystery series. Honigford vividly recreates
Chicago during the Depression. The depth of her research and her
realistic portrayal of old-time radio transport readers back to its
golden age, when listeners gathered around their sets to hear The
Shadow, Boston Blackie, or The Thin Man. This is a thrilling
adventure laced with humor that keeps readers guessing whodunit
until the end." - Historical Novels Review
"An engaging murder mystery set in prewar Chicago. Radio
stars, Dust Bowl refugees, and the shadow of Hitler on the horizon
bring the era to life. I very much enjoyed Cheryl Honigford's
debut novel. I think you will, too!" - Nancy Atherton, New
York Times bestselling author of the Aunt Dimity mysteries
"An accomplished debut. Honigford takes us on an absorbing ride
through the world of 1930s Chicago radio, introducing us to a
plucky new heroine and an entire cast of outlandish radio stars." -
