L.A. Chandlar writes historical mysteries set in 1930s New York City. Her Lane Sanders Mystery series (also known as the Art Deco Mystery series) takes readers into a version of the city defined by its architecture, jazz culture, and the simmering political dangers of the decade.
The series began with The Silver Gun (2017) and has continued through The Gold Pawn (2018), The Pearl Dagger (2019), and The Hindenburg Spy (2025). Lane Sanders is a young woman working in city government who keeps finding herself mixed up in criminal investigations. Chandlar brings a clear affection for the 1930s setting, and the books reward readers who enjoy historical detail woven into their mystery plots.
