Sinopse
Florence Kinrade, dutiful daughter of a wealthy, upper-crust Canadian family in 1909, lives a secret double life as a vaudeville showgirl in Richmond, Virginia. Then sister Ethel shows up dead, with Florence being, apparently, the only one at the scene at the time. Next up, a coroner’s inquest, a mental diagnosis, more vaudeville show business, and a good hard investigative look by investigative journalist, Frank Jones.
Holding many parallels with Lizzie Borden, another famous mystery involving a family murder and an inscrutable young woman, Florence is the central figure in a gruesome family crime. By digging deeply into contemporary accounts and the testimony from Florence’s high-profile court inquest, Frank Jones’ masterful narrative details the challenges of an upper-class woman seeking a showbiz career, reveals the racism and the little-known “tramp menace” feared by people of the era, and exposes Florence’s mental diagnosis by a famous psychiatrist. In the book, we discover, for the first time, the secrets of Florence’s inner life, suppressed emotions, and romantic escapades.
Resumo da Crítica
"A real whodunit by a masterful crime writer who tells it like no other." (Mark McNeil, Hamilton Spectator)
"Frank Jones has given us a captivating and rich account of a long-forgotten murder. The combination of true crime drama, great investigative reporting and social history will grip readers. Whether he is writing about the popularity of vaudeville theatre, the evolution of forensic psychiatry or the Kinrade family’s deceits and delusions, Jones’s pace never flags" (Charlotte Gray, historian)
"Frank Jones has always had a knack for finding the quirkiest and most interesting true crime tales, and relating them with the skill you’d expect from a lifelong, first rate journalist, and this latest is no exception." (Linwood Barclay, mystery writer)
