Kindle Copy for Review from Net Galley

Story of Anna Kerrigan a twelve year who meets a man named Dexter Styles who she will later meet on during the Depression when she accompanies her father to his house. She interacts with his children and watched his uniform servants in his opulent house. There is an odd relationship between them, as they are in debt to him for their financial survival.

We watch Anna become the first female diver at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to support her mother and her disable younger sister. It is a dangerous job.

She finds herself at a night club as she once again meets Dexter Styles. She has not seen him since her father disappearance. Did he have anything to do with her dad disappearance or did he not have anything to do with it?

An interesting read about organied crime during the Depression.

Manhattan Beach is a wonderfully written & thoughtfully researched historical novel. I think this will make an excellent book club pick! (I reviewed this on Goodreads)
