Bernice on Books: Black Orchid Blues by Persia Walker
We love to read. Make a cup of coffee or of bush tea, and join us every month. Become a Cinechicks’ reader.

Price, a female 1920s version of Dominick Dunne, soon finds herself elbows-deep in a story in which everyone seems to be either lying or keeping a secret to die for.
