Penelope Banks is an amateur sleuth navigating the social world of 1920s New York. Colette Clark has placed her at the center of nearly twenty mysteries, each set against a different backdrop of Jazz Age life. Penelope is resourceful and curious, qualities that keep pulling her into dangerous situations.
From Park Avenue parties to transatlantic ocean liners, Penelope’s cases take her to the places where 1920s glamour and crime overlap. She first appeared in A Murder in Long Island (2022) and has been solving murders at a steady pace ever since.
