A socialite living in late-1930s New York City disappears without a trace in Unseasonably Cold, Amy Ephron's elegant, melancholy noir of secrets, misapprehensions, and deceptions.

Replete with beautifully observed period detail and sharply drawn characters, Unseasonably Cold, a mystery crafted with an artist's eye is utterly worthy of the era it depicts, when the polite mask of high society’s mannered calm disguised the turbulence just beneath; a mirror for the terrible events swirling in Europe at the lead-up to the Second World War* oddly reminiscent of now.

Featured by the Historical Novel Society, which spotlighted Unseasonably Cold as Amy Ephron’s “noir-ish 1939 mystery.” and explored the novel’s richly secrets, public masks, and private grief.
