Bury Me Deep Paperback - 2009
by Megan Abbott
Edgar Award-winning author Abbott, simply one of the most exciting and original voices of her generation (Laura Lippman), turns her attention to the Jazz Age--one of the most notorious periods for inciting scandalous crimes.
Summary
By the author of Dare Me and The End of Everything
In October 1931, a station agent found two large trunks abandoned in Los Angeless Southern Pacific Station. What he found inside ignited one of the most scandalous tabloid sensations of the decade.
Inspired by this notorious true crime, Edgar-winning author Megan Abbotts novel Bury Me Deep is the story of Marion Seeley, a young woman abandoned in Phoenix by her doctor husband. At the medical clinic where she finds a job, Marion becomes fast friends with Louise, a vivacious nurse, and her roommate, Ginny, a tubercular blonde. Before long, the demure Marion is swept up in the exuberant life of the girls, who supplement their scant income by entertaining the towns most powerful men with wild parties. At one of these events, Marion meetsand falls hard forthe charming Joe Lanigan, a local rogue and politician on the rise, whose ties to all three women bring events to a dangerous collision.
A story born of Jazz Age decadence and Depression-era desperation, Bury Me Deepwith its hothouse of jealousy, illicit sex and shifting loyaltiesis a timeless portrait of the dark side of desire and the glimmer of redemption.

Media reviews
"[A] cunningly fictionalized...exquisite book, told in delicate, shimmering prose that heightens the nightmarish quality of the story. Megan Abbott is often compared with James Ellroy...but her writing is far more economical and focused, and her sensibilities are feminine to the core. This is noir mystery writing at its very best."-- Tom and Enid Schantz, The Denver Post
