Detroit Shuffle by D.E. Johnson
Title: Detroit Shuffle
Author: D.E. Johnson
Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: February 13, 2016 in New Zealand
When was the book published: 2013
Main Characters:Will Anderson, amateur sleuth, lover Elizabeth hume, nemesis Sapphira Zanaxis, Andrew Sullivan, head of the Michigan Liquor Associations
What happens? 1912 in Detroit, and the woman's suffrage movement is pushing forward, and is considered aligned with the suffrage movement, which means it has powerful opponents. Will works for his father's electric car company, but is caught in the middle of political intrigue and attempted murder. His exposure to radiation (previous book?) makes him black out and appear unreliable.

Did I like this? Pretty good - the main character makes some ridiculous decisions and judgements, but the plot moves and is believable.
