Critics Review
Praise for Under the Paper Moon
“An intelligent and engrossing post WWII mystery with a couple of whip-smart, gutsy PIs who defy death, the odds, and expectations. Once you start this book, I defy you to put it down.” —Dianne Freeman, author of the Agatha and Lefty award winning Countess of Harleigh mysteries.
“WWII has ended but treachery lingers in the most unlikely places in this suspenseful mystery featuring a daredevil pair who thrive on danger, adventure, and each other. A fabulous debut!” —Alyssa Maxwell, author of Murder at the Elms
“Screenwriter Steinberg’s fizzy debut balances quick-witted romance with colorful bursts of two-fisted action…Steinberg’s screenwriting experience serves her well in a plot that often feels plucked from a black-and-white rom-com…There’s plenty of bounce and bite in the execution. Readers will be eager to see what Steinberg does next.” —Publishers Weekly
“World War II may be over, but its wounds are far from healed…An exciting character-driven combination of mystery, thriller, and love stories, with plenty of twists in all three.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The romance, the trail of betrayal, and the critical flashbacks give a cinematic feel to this postwar thriller.” —Booklist
