The Lost Girl of Astor Street (Blink, 2017) by Stephanie Morrill was a hard to put down historical mystery with a very likable tough female main character. I enjoyed the book a lot.
Eighteen-year-old Piper Sail’s best friend disappears two weeks before graduation and Piper is determined to find out what happens to Lydia. Along the way she finds out some uncomfortable truths about her own family, is disturbed out of her complacency about young men, and puts her own life at risk. The book is set during prohibition in Chicago.
The first sentence is a good description of Piper, “If he doesn’t know it already, Jeremiah Crane is about to learn that I’m not the type of girl to be pushed around.”
