Abstract

The article reviews "The Girl in the Green Dress," a standalone novel by Mariah Fredericks set in 1920s New York City, inspired by the unsolved murder of gambler Joseph Elwell. The story follows Morris Markey, a young journalist who witnesses Elwell's murder and becomes determined to uncover the truth, aided by Zelda Fitzgerald, who provides access to Manhattan's elite. As Markey investigates, he faces increasing tension with a second murder mirroring Elwell's case, expanding his list of suspects. The author effectively captures the era and presents well-developed characters, particularly Zelda, enhancing the novel's intrigue and depth. [Extracted from the article]
