The Briar Club by Kate Quinn
Set in 1950s Washington, D.C., "The Briar Club" unfolds within the walls of Briarwood House, a modest boardinghouse for women. The arrival of Grace March, a captivating widow, stirs the lives of her fellow residents. Among them are Fliss, an elegant Englishwoman masking deep personal struggles; Nora, a police officer's daughter caught in a dangerous liaison; Bea, a former baseball player grappling with the end of her career; and Arlene, fervently involved in the political fervor of the era. As Grace hosts weekly gatherings, bonds form and secrets simmer beneath the surface. However, a violent incident forces the women to confront hidden truths and question who among them poses the greatest threat.
