Trapping the Butterfly
By: Debra Parmley

I have to say in full honesty that Debra Parmley has become one of my favorite authors and I look forward to any new release by her. This one was no exception. However, when I saw that this one took place in the 1920s and featured Al Capone’s group, I don’t think I could have picked up this book any faster.
This story did not disappoint. I read it in one complete sitting and I cannot wait for the rest of the series. This book completely delivers. It features a main character who is coming of age and is on the brink of womanhood and gaining all independence. She is everything I imagine a strong female in the 1920s would be. She has been raised by her aunt and uncle but things there have always kept her in a proverbial cage. When she travels with them to Hot Springs her life truly opens up. This is when we really see what I imagine the 1920s to be, from the descriptions of the clothes, the glamorous names being featured. This book absolutely features suspense, betrayal, romance and all the aspects of prohibition. This book was absolutely fantastic and I loved watching Bethany come into her own. I definitely recommend reading this one and adding the rest of the series on your books to read list!
