Though it has been years now since I read this book, it still lingers in my mind and though I can never name ONE favorite book, it is easily near the top of the list.
The Other Typist is set in the 1920s and tells the story of Rose, a typist who takes the confessions of criminals for the police and who lives a lonely life until another typist joins the ranks. This other typist is captivating, coquettish, and stylish, and pulls Rose under her spell and lures her into another world full of speakeasies, jazz, and liquor.
This book is not what it seems and contains mysteries and obsessions and leaves you wondering at the end, reminiscent of Fight Club.
Slated to become a film produced by and starring Kiera Knightley, this genre-bending book is an incredible debut novel perfect for fans of Gone Girl, historical fiction, mysteries, and psychological thrillers.
Highly recommended.
