Jenny Adams: A Deadly Endeavor
Debut
Set in 1921 Philly, this lively series debut finds its characters affected by both the war and the influenza pandemic. Heroine Edie Shippen returns home after suffering through the flu and nursing her San Francisco aunt just in time for her twin sister Frances’ engagement party to Edie’s former beau, Theo. She isn’t even planning to attend until her maid Jenny convinces, telling her she looks too good to miss it. Edie, who seems remarkably unaware of her own charms, does agree, but for her the occasion is only saved by an encounter with her rebellious cousin, Rebecca.
