Knightley will portray Rose, “a prim, unworldly police department typist gets drawn into the shady world of her glamorous new co-worker, Odalie (Knightley) but when the ultimate crime is committed, it’s uncertain which of the two women was the more treacherous.” The Other Typist is described as a “psycho-sexual suspense thriller” and takes place in New York City during the Prohibition Era.

Suzanne Rindell was kind enough to be interviewed by Bookbag. Like this book, it's beautifully written and has a compelling narrator. If it's another stunning piece of literary fiction you're after, I can't recommend Chinaman by Shehan Karunatilaka highly enough. While The Great Gatsby, as mentioned above, is still the ultimate Jazz Age book for me, I'm also thrilled by Jillian Larkin's Flappers series (starting with Vixen, a teenage trilogy which will definitely appeal to adults who love the time period. Hugely recommended - most of the books I read and review these days are teen fiction this is one of the few adult books that I'll be raving about to anyone and everyone this year. Rose's voice is gorgeous and it's paced perfectly, starting with a fairly languid, leisurely opening to draw us into her world before picking up to a shattering conclusion (have I mentioned yet that I really, really thought this book had a superb ending?) Most of all, though, I loved that it wears its literary influences - Gatsby in particular, but also others I won't mention because it's getting into spoiler territory - proudly, paying homage to some classic works.Īs well, it's incredibly well-written. I loved the setting, I loved the characters, I loved the climax, and I loved the themes of identity, obsession, truth vs justice, and so many more. Rose is a completely beguiling narrator, Rindell breathes life into the 1920s - speakeasies, big parties, and all - and hits us with an ending that knocked me for six. I'd say this is one definitely best read with as little prior knowledge as possible, but it's an absolute must-read, being breathtakingly, stunningly wonderful. I've tried about sixteen different ways of describing this one, but any comparison I make - except perhaps for The Great Gatsby - clearly a major influence - seems to be too close to giving something away.
Then a perfect storm comes into their lives, in the shape of the enchanting Odalie, and nothing will be the same again. While she has no real friends, she's good at her job and seems to have the respect of the Sergeant, whom she admires and the Lieutenant Detective, whom she's less keen on. The Other Typist is set in 1920s New York City, with Prohibition at its height and Rose Baker, an orphaned young woman, working as a police typist. Suzanne Rindell popped into Bookbag Towers to chat to us. Outstanding, a definite recommendation for all, particularly those with an interest in the Jazz Age.
