Murder in the Brothel Garden: A Conner Miles Mystery
By Steven D. Malone
Beach Gang bootlegger, Conner Miles, must find a murderer and protect the fiery prostitute, Livia.
Conner’s boss gives him a wad of hundreds to clean up a mess. The mess; a body piled like dirty laundry in a puddle of blood in the brothel garden. The madam wants the murderer found. She wants Conner to protect one of her girls, Livia.
Maybe Livia’s a witness. Maybe she’s the murderer.
Livia won’t say. But she smiles so pretty and promises so much.
Then bullets start flying. Someone wants Conner dead.

How fun! I was in the mood for armchair travel
to the Jazz Age, and Malone’s book took me there.
The author’s historical research shows through in the best way. When characters use slang or out-of-date terms, it’s never clunky or forced. I found myself eager to flip pages, while simultaneously
wanting to slow down and savor the world Malone created.
I can usually tell where a story is headed, and that isn’t always a bad thing, but in this case? I did NOT see the twist coming!
I hope this is the first of a series.
5.0 out of 5 starsLots of Action!

Format: Paperback
I loved this book - bought it at a book signing and just bought a second copy for a friend who loves Galveston. I liked the snappy dialogue between the characters (definitely not your usual suspects) and things about the time period (1925) I never knew - Malone definitely did his research! Lots of action, fascinating characters, murders, gunfights with gangsters, and a totally believable ending I was NOT ready for!
