An enjoyable romp through the 1950s, when the office girl (it was the 50s, remember?) at Daring Detective Magazine decides to solve a mystery herself and write the story for the magazine. Lots of mostly accurate 50s stuff. I recommend the book.

Although it is interesting - the writing is a bit "cutesy" and got on my nerves. It was very distracting - but I read the whole thing anyway!
