  • Summary

  • Join us as we delve into Jane Smiley's latest work, A Dangerous Business, set in Monterrey, California in the 1850s. Follow the journey of Eliza Ripple as she turns to prostitution after her husband's untimely death and joins forces with a friendly brothel owner and Jean to uncover the mystery of disappearing women. Despite Smiley's wonderful writing style, this book falls short with its meandering story line and fails to deliver a cohesive mystery, detective, or ghost story. Join us as we explore this disappointing venture into the genre and discuss why it may not be the best introduction to Smiley's works.
