‘Waugh brings this rather obscure corner of history to vivid, passionate life . . . Intelligent historical fiction at its best.’

Honeyville
Harper Collins
2014
A hooker. A mistress. A murder. This town was built on sin.
The town of Trinidad, Colorado was a tough place to be a woman in 1913. But it was the best place in the West to find one, if you had the cash.
Honeyville, they used to call it.
A murder throws Inez and Dora together – two women from opposite sides of town, in a town built for men. Against all odds, the well born girl and the high class hooker are drawn together in friendship…
But this is a town that is rotten to the core, and beyond the rustling of silk skirts, the dancing and laughter, deadly unrest is building…
Welcome to Honeyville – a town living by its own rules, where nothing is quite as it seems.
