About this ebook
"What's a Poor Girl to Do"r is a stand-alone book that shares a couple of characters with and briefly refers to my previous Hollywood murder mystery, "Lily Torrence." It is set at the end of World War II in Germany, New York and Hollywood. Though there are a couple of deaths, a sleuth, some tough cops and lying suspects, this is not so much a murder mystery as a catalogue of deadly sins, particularly lust, ambition, and arrogance, all of which are most especially seen in the pattern of abuse and denial that we now call #metoo, and that in 1948 they called business as usual.
