‘A lush and beautifully rendered novel that will keep you turning pages long into the night. Mystery, intrigue, secrets and a vendetta fuel this story, which is ultimately about the meaning of family and the power of love. Brava!’ * Adriana Trigiani, New York Times-bestselling author of 'The Good Left Undone' * ‘This novel whisked me away to 1930s Chicago and all the wonders of the World’s Fair. Family secrets, revenge and women who refuse to do what they're told – an ideal combination. I loved it’ * Louise Hare, author of 'This Lovely City' and 'Miss Aldridge Regrets' * ‘Expansive and emotive, I couldn't put this book down. Amid the intrigue, revenge, and redemption set against the backdrop of the Chicago World's Fair, Anika Scott still manages to make Sinners of Starlight City a deeply intimate story about family with characters that jump off the page. Another notch in Scott's literary belt!’ * Catherine Adel West, author of 'The Two Lives of Sara' and 'Saving Ruby King' * 'Full of Italian mobsters and family strife, this tale of historical fiction and drama will transport readers to the fantasy and glory that was the 1933 World’s Fair’ * Booklist *
