This thrilling page-turner cinematically captures the opulence-and sordidness-of the Prohibition Era in New York." "A story of glamour, prohibition, obsession and corruption, with a fantastic Hitchcockian twist, The Other Typist is a great way to kick off a summer of reading."-KMUW 89.1, Wichita Public Radio "A thrilling riff on the classic noir and an impressive first novel."- Christian Science Monitor "Â perfect social comedy: A plain young typist working for the New York Police Department in the 1920s becomes obsessed with a glamorous co-worker. I had a blast reading this and had my nerves scrambled by the end." -Victor LaValle, author of The Devil in Silver "Best for those who can't get enough of The Great Gatsby and the Roaring Twenties. But it's New York, not the nice young woman, who should be trembling.
The Other Typist pretends to be the story of a nice young woman entering the cutthroat world of police work in 1920s New York. " -Alison Atlee, author of The Typewriter Girl "Suzanne Rindell messes with your head.
you'll want to talk about The Other Typist. It's chilling till the very end." -Rita Mae Brown, MFH, Author "You could make a one-sitting read of The Other Typist: it maintains the riveting dance of question-provoking answers that earn page-turners their name, and Suzanne Rindell's Jazz Age NYC is gritty, glamorous, and utterly absorbing. Don't start this novel at night if you need your beauty sleep-you'll stay up to all hours devouring its pages." -Alice LaPlante, New York Times bestselling author of Turn of Mind "As you read this remarkable first novel you will feel the room temperature drop. She captures it quite well, while at the same time spinning a delicate and suspenseful narrative about false friendship, obsession, and life for single women in New York during Prohibition." - Booklist "If you liked Gone Girl, you might enjoy …The best book I've read so far this summer."- Greenwich Time "Totally addictive."- The Atlantic Wire "This eerie and compelling debut is a riveting page-turner, narrated by a strangely hypnotic yet dubious young woman who works as a typist for the NYPD in the 1920s.
A deliciously addictive, cinematically influenced page-turner, both comic and provocative." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Rindell's debut is a cinematic page-turner." - Publishers Weekly "With hints toward The Great Gatsby, Rindell's novel aspires to recreate Prohibition-era New York City, both its opulence and its squalid underbelly. "Take a dollop of Alfred Hitchcock, a dollop of Patricia Highsmith, throw in some Great Gatsby flourishes, and the result is Rindell's debut, a pitch-black comedy about a police stenographer accused of murder in 1920s Manhattan.
