The author is a puzzle master and an ingenious plotter. These Flynn books are so much fun to read. As this one opens we meet a woman and obtain her point of view: “There’s something wrong with Ruby Johnson. That’s what her grandma used to say.” Ruby is a domestic servant who works for a number of families who live in an exclusive Manhattan neighborhood. Ruby is a young woman. She lives elsewhere with her mother in a roach-ridden place. Ruby and her mom have seen better days.

He actually used to make calls to reporters andpretend he was somebody else calling in stories about himself. Talkabout fake news, that certainly was. I guess he would know?
