About the author
Tam May
24 books697 followersWriting has been Tam’s voice since the age of fourteen. She writes stories set in the past featuring sassy but sensitive women characters. Readers share the experience of women struggling to carve out an identity for themselves during eras when their options were limited. Her stories are set mostly around the Bay Area because she adores sourdough bread, Ghirardelli chocolate, and San Francisco history.
Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries, which takes place in the early 20th century and features suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling, whose talent for solving crimes doesn’t sit well with her small town’s conventional ideas about women. Tam also has a new series, the Grave Sisters Mysteries, about three sisters who own a funeral home and help the county D.A. solve crimes in a 1920s small California town.
In addition, Tam writes historical fiction about women breaking loose from the social expectations of their time. She has a 4-book series set in the 1890s, the Waxwood Series, and a post-World War II short story collection, *Lessons From My Mother’s Life*.
Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in the Midwest because it’s cheaper. When she’s not writing, she’s devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music), concocting yummy plant-based dishes, and exploring her riverside town.

A debutante to show off in Arrojo, all the way from Boston. Pretty, flighty, seemingly air headed and a fleet of young men ready to make her acquaintance but Nin and Adele see a very different side of the young lady, even more so when her expensive ruby necklace goes missing and she is not prepared to have the police force investigate the disappearance.
An enjoyable read, albeit short with Tam May's usual clever writing.

There were a lot of errors throughout the story. Too many for a novella.
