Chicago, the Roaring Twenties. Cecilia Mills is new to town and struggling to survive. Her world is turned upside down when she falls for gangster Franky Greco’s moll Nell Prescott. Working at The Orpheus dance hall thanks to Nell, Cecilia becomes known as CeeCee and rubs elbows with gangsters and the city’s elite, and she and Nell hide their affair from Greco.

Patrick Sheridan is fresh out of prison and bent on revenge, with Greco in the crosshairs. He gets a job as CeeCee’s bodyguard, and despite her infatuation with Nell, love blossoms between CeeCee and Sheridan. When Sheridan sees his chance, thanks to a disillusioned cop seeking his own revenge, he must choose where his loyalties lie as CeeCee and Nell are caught in the middle.

I was given the privilege of reading an advance copy of this book. Ms. Palmer has written an intriguing, well-crafted tale with realistic characters caught up in forbidden lifestyles and dangerous situations complicated by notorious gangsters, jealous lovers, and numerous murders in mid-1920s Chicago. This story will keep readers turning the pages. Well done, Ms. Palmer.

Midnight at the Orpheus is a fun read. It may not have the best character development or the best characters, but it is an entertaining read. Set in the 20's and revolving around a gang and a young girl trying to get a job. Cecilia is the main character, and she's honestly kinda boring. I felt like there was so much more about her character, her thoughts and dreams and aspirations that could have been explained. She felt like a plot device, just something to keep all the characters intertwined and moving. Sheridan was my favorite character, his story of revenge was convincing and I thought he was a sweet guy at heart. Nell was also fascinating, I wanted her to be the main character and I wanted to hear more about her past. Honestly I would love to read a second book about her and about how she came to be with Franky, and learn more about her sexuality.
The atmosphere was done well, I felt like I was in the middle of the Roaring Twenties with the characters. I would have liked more information about lesbians in the '20s. I felt like Palmer touched briefly on how dangerous it was for homosexuals in that day and age, but I would have loved more historical details.
The end I thought was a bit long, I felt like Palmer had the characters escape and then realize they needed all of these things at home. And while I appreciate the fact that they didn't have everything at their fingertips, I was just a wee bit bored and wanted everything to move a bit faster. *SPOILER* And I loved it that Cecilia wasn't forced to choose between her two lovers. Since it's entirely possible for someone to love more than one person at the same time, I was glad that Palmer added this detail. *END SPOILER*

Overall I enjoyed reading this book and gave it 3 stars, I would read it again and give this book to a friend.
