To look at her, one would never think suburbanite homemaker Jane Jeffry would be interested in murder and mayhem. But given the corpses she's come across she's practically an expert on the subject. Which is why Jane's booking down to a nearby mystery writers' convention to mingle with the brightest lights of literary crime, and maybe drum up some interest in her own recently completed manuscript. But when a famous ego-squashing editor keels over at the speaker's podium, and a much-hated book-bashing journalist is himself bashed in the parking lot, it seems fairly certain that at least one real-life murderer is stalking the proceedings. Jane Jeffry is on the case, ready to snoop, eavesdrop, and gossip her way to a solution.

"I did enjoy this book although there was no murder, just a couple of attempts. I will say that there was enough action to hold my attention. All in all, an enjoyable read. "

— Sandra, 3/19/2011" I couldn't get into this one at all, so I loaned it to a fellow bibliophile, and neither could she. I couldn't make myself care about what was happening. "
— Lesa, 1/12/2011" My first book of hers. Pretty good, couldnt put it down and read it in a couple of hours. "
— Penny, 7/14/2010" Quick Saturday reading...light, fun, and just right to zoom through. "
— Suzanne, 7/3/2010" I did not think this book was well written or particularly interesting. I felt like the mystery part of the book was written in as an aside to the character's actions and story (which wasn't very exciting either). The ending was also terrible - nothing was resolved. "
— Emily, 6/3/2010" still find JC somewhat unfulfilling, seems cardboard and underdeveloped. "
