About this listen
Los Angeles, 1908. Ex-heiress Anna Blanc is precariously employed by the Los Angeles Police Department, reforming delinquent children and minding lady jailbirds. Badly. What she really wants is to trap criminals and be alone with the delicious Detective Joe Singer—both pursuits that could get her fired. If she loses her income, she’ll be on the street. While hunting truants in Griffith Park, Anna and Joe discover the body of a young John Doe. With Anna’s job on the line, Joe warns her away, but Anna can't resist. She's on the case.
Meanwhile, Anna begins getting strange floral arrangements from an unknown admirer. Following the proverbial petals leads her to another crime--one close to home. Suddenly pitted against Joe, Anna must examine her loyalties and solve the crimes, even if it means losing the man she loves.
Inspired by true events.

Anna Blanc is back and I was loving the fact that she is still the same old Anne we met in the Secret Life of Anna Blanc. She is now living on her own after her father found out various misgivings from the last book, but in all honesty this has been great for her and allowed her to bloom. This story centres around a murder in Chinatown, that Anna somehow managed to get involved in to help solve.
There were time that I forgot that we were in the early 1900's as Anna is easily ahead of the times and it was great to see her being so progressive. Jennifer Kincheloe has done a great job of bringing history and fiction to life with this story.
The Narration:
Once again Moira Quirk really brings Anna Blanc to life with this book. She does a great job at all the accents - this story centres around a murder in Chinatown so at first I wasn't sure how the accents would play out, but Moira nailed them and made then authentic. The production was once again flawless and engaging.
