Please join us for our discussion of The Girls of Murder City by Douglas Perry. Bob Fosse made Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly the stars of his musical “Chicago”, but did you know he based them on real-life killers? This book tells the story of the real Jazz Age murderesses, Beautiful Beulah Annan and Stylish Belva Gaertner, who grabbed headlines in six Chicago newspapers . Journalist Perry gives the reader insight not only into these two, but into Chicago history, as well.
