The Other Typist had a premise that had me most excited (during prohibition era, two mysterious typist in a police precinct in NY? Yes), and it was beautifully written, but it still didn't convince me. That is basically because of the constant repetition (the foreshadowing was too much to support its own ending) and its lack of subtlety (if the unreliability of the narrator was supposed to be questioned, it failed: something's off with her since page 1). 
 The similarities with The Great Gatsby (which the author herself mentions) were there, and I like the fact that it was somehow subverted (a she-Gatsby, that's cool) but not that it was exaggerated/simplified (you don't need to spell things out that much!). 
 That said, the atmosphere was really well build. They're making a film, though, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna be great (if only for the costumes).
