Our two junior book club groups were merged for April and read the delightful mystery, Trouble In New York. We enjoyed the clever plot twists and misdirections and the evocation of the Newspaper biz in the 60s.

Synopsis

Jamie Creeden has always wanted to be a reporter - so when he is given a tour of the famous YORKER newspaper, he can't believe his luck. But a chance phone call draws him into the mystery of the missing actress. Soon Jamie, along with his new friends Eve and Rose, must navigate a tense world of infamous villains, double crosses and carefully planted clues - a world in which he can trust absolutely no one. He still longs to be on the front page - but at what cost?

Set in 1960s New York, this is another beautifully written mystery from Sylvia Bishop, author of THE SECRET OF THE NIGHT TRAIN.

Reviews

I loved the reveal about what was genuinely going on, even though I can’t say too much about on account of the fact it might spoil it. I’m not sure if or when Sylvia Bishop’s next upper MG will be, but whenever the time comes I absolutely can’t wait to read it.
Goodreads reviewer - A
I LOVED this book. I really liked Jamie as he and I share the common interest that we both want to be reporters. I LIVED for the clever plot twists in this book and I thought that it was really satisfying when Jamie figured them out. I feel that Sylvia Bishop represented 1960s America really well and accurately.

About the author

Sylvia Bishop

Sylvia Bishop spent an entire childhood reading fiction, dreaming up stories and pretending. She then tried very hard to get to grips with the real world by studying politics and going in to social science research. This was a shock. Thankfully, she discovered improvised comedy at university, which allowed her to carry on making up stories for at least 30% of her waking hours.

Now she writes her stories down, preferably by lamp-light with tea. She only ever really writes the bad ones: the good ones write themselves without warning, generally when she was planning to go to bed.
