The whole WWII scene of women trying to make a living and carry on while the men are away to lands unknown is a good background. Haines' writing is better in this one as usually happens when writers expand into other stories.

WINTER IN JUNE by Kathryn Miller Haines

We are introduced to mob type characters, like Al, Rosie's friend, Tony, the current jealous boyfriend of Jayne and then the directors of the show that star Rosie and Jayne. There's a lot going on behind the scenes of this not so great musical and Rosie starts to smell something bad. Why are the rehearsals shortened? Why do they need to be out of the theater at a certain time?

Why are all these accidents and injuries of players happening? As Rosie starts to pry she gets into the world of black marketing as well as behind the doors of the Stage Door Canteen where soldiers spend their time in the arms of beautiful women before going overseas and maybe not coming back. The background of the ls in NYC with references to Horn and Hardahrt, Scharff's restaurant, plus letting your imagination run wild with tunes of Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw and all the big bands of the era makes one feel like turning back the clock.

I'd like to read more about Rosie and it looks like the author has written some more books in the series. It would be great to have Rosie meet Billy Boyle. I think they would have a lot in common! Rosie, our intrepid heroine, finds out early on that her friend Al has been fingered as the murderer of a fellow actress but she's not buying it. In typical Rosie style, she's unable to let the subject go, and her investigation takes her into the black market world of the Mob, the machinations of some local actresses as they search for wealth and publicity, and the famous Stage Door Canteen.

All of the adventures take place against WWII New York City, with Rosie's acting career placing her in the midst of the action; her heart, however, is still with ex-boyfriend Jack, missing in action somewhere in the South Pacific. Haines does a dynamite job bringing the details of the era to life and paints pictures with her words that make you feel as though you are in Rosie's shoes as she investigates with her trademark smart mouth and bullheaded fortitude.
