About this listen

It’s 1898. Eighteen-year-old Jemima McBustle stands at the crossroads of life. She can marry a “man of substance” and float through life in luxury as her family wishes, or follow her idol Nelly Bly and forge her own way in a man’s world as a stunt reporter.

After finessing a job at a St. Louis newspaper, she must deliver stories that will sell papers. Time is running out on her six-months’ trial. The only idea she has is to follow Nellie’s example and go undercover in a “Madhouse.”

Jemmy reaps a story much bigger than she imagined. A possible murder to solve, and something more sinister—something secret about the devilishly handsome Dr. Lyman himself.

Confusion reigns not just in the asylum, but also in Jemmy's life as new puzzles pop up like dandelions in spring.

Worse yet, her newspaper editor, Suetonius Hamm, saddled her with gangly red-haired photographer Hal and his chartreuse tandem bike. Adding to the chaos, Aunt Delilah McBustle demanded that Jemmy make her grand debut into society at the elegant Oracle Ball that same week. Piling horror upon horror, her escort turned out to be her young cousin Horrible Heathcliff the Hellion, the piss alley boy of Laclede's Landing. What’s a girl to do?
