THE GIRL IN THE GREEN DRESS

Narrator Marnye Young takes listeners back in time to New York City in 1920 to create the atmosphere of Mariah Fredericks's latest mystery. The story ties together three elements: the unsolved murder of the gambler Joseph Elwell, the reporting of journalist Morris Markey for THE NEW YORKER, and the glamorous lives of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Young carefully channels each character, concentrating on the story's highs and lows as she matches the author's slow-burn style. She develops the personality of each principal convincingly and knows when to add a tone of intrigue as she brings Fredericks's vibrant descriptions of the Jazz Age to life.
