"On this drizzly misty evening of November 14, driving in her secondhand Mercedes to the dinner party that would forever alter the course of her life"... How can you get away with that... revealing the characters destiny (not fate) in the first line... I would write: "She loved her secondhand Mercedes. She hated the predictable dinner party. It was November 14th."
I’ve always loved the way you write!
Nice read! Thank you.
These characters are magic.

It's a modern-day recreation of 1950's pulp mystery magazine and paperback book covers.
The writing is too but with much more complexly drawn characters.
That’s fun, breezy writing! But the cover art? I don’t know what to say. Is it meant to be ironic?
