Jackie Verona: A Murder of Gypsies Feb 21, 2020

by Kimberly Richardson

( 3 )

$2.99

My name is Jacqueline Verona, or Jackie to my friends and even some enemies. I'm a writer living in Moon City, one of the more progressive cities in the United States. The year is 1957 and the country is in a state of change. Riots, protests, and people fighting the good fight are what's happening, yet Moon City seems to be above that. The city is nowhere near the size of New York City, yet the city is large enough to boast several theaters, galleries, cafes, bookstores, a decent enough library, and people who want more in life no matter their race. I'd be a damn liar if I said that everyone was all about the kumbaya around here, for we still have some that think “coloureds” and other non-whites need to know and remember their place. However, they are either ignored or chased out of town because the rest of us aren't like that.Welcome to Moon City, a place of culture, jazz music, and murder. Jackie Verona lays to rest Diane, the sister of her lover, Clovis, yet all is not what it appears to be. Join Jackie as she tries to unravel the mystery of Diane's death, all the while keepin' it cool with angry Beats, jealous lesbians, and depressed art students. A Murder of Gypsies is the first book in the Jackie Verona series by Kimberly Richardson. From Kimberly Richardson’s Pulp Gothic Imprint and Pro Se Productions.
