Could this be why she has found herself in 1949?
To find the killer and stop them in their tracks?
The Beverely Hills Hotel, Los Angeles
The author saw a programme on television about the world’s poshest hotels and one of them was the Beverely Hills Hotel in LA. Inside one of the suites had not been redecorated for many years and so it was as if you could open the door and step back into another time.
Well, for an imaginative author, this led to this novel. The author stayed here to research the timeslip novel and this is why we get to visit LA in both 1949 and 2019.
The glamour and glitz hide a worn and dark world of vice and danger….
