Critics Review
‘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
