This first in a planned series is a nice combination of mystery and thriller seasoned by historical facts and a look at women's lives before woman's liberation.”

An impressively well written and consistently compelling read from beginning to end, Radha Vatsal's A Front Page Affair is the first book in what is justifiably expected to be an outstanding series featuring rising journalism star Kitty Weeks."

Vatsal has clearly done her research on the geography and fashions of the period, but the novel's strength lies in its exploration of complicated wartime politics, and the difference between neutrality and innocence. Rich with period detail and cameos from a few historical figures, A Front Page Affair is an appealing beginning to Kitty Weeks and her world."
