The Other Typist

Product Information

Before too long, they are the best of friends, navigating a dual life of police work during the day and speakeasies when the day winds down. She was the dark epicenter of something we didn’t quite understand yet, the place where hot and cold mixed dangerously, and around her everything would change. Indeed, Rindell pays explicit homage in an epilogue which, like the end of The Good Soldier, features the use of a suddenly produced penknife.

With hints toward The Great Gatsby, Rindell’s novel aspires to recreate Prohibition-era New York City, both its opulence and its squalid underbelly. Her descriptions are so lyrical and detailed you can easily and pleasantly visualize even the slightest action.

She didn't use a lot of words when she set her scenes, but I could actually smell the scents she described and feel the emotions. The book focused on the lives of the two main characters, Rose and Odalie, with Odalie being "the other typist.

The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell may be the most riveting page-turner that I have read this year. They say there are two sides to every story, but sometimes perspective is so fractured and the truth so obscured that there could be any number of sides depending on who you talk to and when. I think David wants the story to be a Body Heat kind of set-up, and that would be a much better book, but it isn't. She's a bit stodgy to say the least and at first I liked her but after a bit, I thought, oh drat, I could never live up to her expectations and would I want too.

So you'll only see four or five stars ratings from me, and maybe a few notes about who I think might best enjoy the book in question. I am a sucker for a poisonous relationship in a book and all that it can bring, and this one is TOXIC. This time, she dips into The Odyssey for the legend of Circe, a nymph who turns Odysseus’ crew of men into pigs.Well, I could pull up a comfortable chair, pour myself a glass of wine, and enjoy doing that more than I enjoyed reading this book…. By that I mean, I believe these characters could have indeed existed as people and that these events could indeed have happened, however I did not believe the development was sufficient in making the characters multidimensional and circumstances were insufficiently described. Rindell fleshes out her character(s) quite well, with excellent narration, reliable or not, by Rose, the original typist. Speakeasies ("blind pigs," "jimmies") bloomed on every street corner, each with its own way of outsmarting law enforcement.

Which suits Rose fine, because she doesn't like many people – not her colleagues in the typing pool and certainly not the "affected" Helen, with whom she shares a room in a drab boarding house. Speakeasies, serial killers, shimmering jewelry and secrets from the past – it all seems like a whole new world for an orphan like Rose. I must say I got suspicious pretty early on just on the basis that Odalie being hired on as a typist seemed a bit of a stretch. Zoey goes along with this mistaken identity situation to help Zach until the other Zoey arrives, and so does trouble.Rindell spills the big secrets of the job: how intimate is the act of hearing deposition testimony, how much the transcriptionist observes and understands about people that they believe they are hiding, and finally that the transcriptionist is anything but an automaton and actually can effect the understood truth. As for the very last paragraph ("How about that, Odalie, I think, and take another drag on my cigarette. Rose is a police typist who falls into an obsession with modern flapper-girl Odalie who comes to work in the same precinct. And when the Lieutenant Detective visits Rose in the epilogue, he tells her that Odalie is "gone," supposedly because she "didn't feel safe"--no doubt because she knows how dangerous Rose is.

This was hands-down one of the most disappointing, poorly written novels I have read in the past few years. When Odalie threw her under the bus, she flipped her cork, and that's why we see her reminiscing about doing the dirty deed.As much as I loved this book and really wanted to award it a full five stars, there were a couple of reasons why I didn’t. We are led to believe that Odalie corrupts Rose, dressing her in riches and dragging her to speakeasies where bootleg booze is served.
