Publisher Description

The annual Historical Romance Writers of the World convention in New York City is calling to Jacqueline Kirby, a Nebraska librarian who desperately desires some excitement. But all is not love and kisses at this august gathering of starry-eyed eccentrics and sentimental scribes. As far as Jacqueline is concerned, the sudden "natural" death of a gossip columnist seems anything but. And when she's approached by a popular genre star who fears for her own life, the resourceful Ms. Kirby quickly goes back to work … as a sleuth.

There's a sinister scenario being penned at this purple prose congregation. And when jealousy and passion are released from the boundaries of the printed page, the result can be murder.

"Good old stand-by. Read this one many years ago, picked it up again for fun. The plot is fun, spoof on romance books/writers, but it has a good plot, twits and turns and a great heroine. Ms. Peters is always a good read, the first or second time. "

— Liz (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Delicious stereotypes abound as each author tries to outdo the others. The narrator splendidly delivers the banter and wordplay of these wordsmiths. Peters is a natural for audio because conversation is central to her work. Conlin wonderfully portrays the array of characters.”

    — AudioFile

  • “A good addition to mystery collections.”

    — Library Journal

  • “Conlin reads in a rich, resonant and beautifully cadenced voice. Her timing is impeccable and she carries you effortlessly through the story. Light and enjoyable.”

    — Kliatt

    " Before there was Amelia Peabody, one of my all-time favorite characters, therre was librarian Jacqueline Kirby, one of my new faves. Ms. Kirby attends a Romance Writers' Convention where there's nothing romantic about death. There are at least 4 more in this series, which I hope to be reading soon. "

    " I thought I remembered liking this book the first time I read it, but I'm not sure why - I got halfway through this time and decided that I'd had enough swearing and so on, that I gave it up! I wouldn't bother - I don't remember the ending, and at this point just don't care! "

    " I'm a sucker for anything by Elizabeth Peters. She has a Ph.D in Egyptology AND writes first class mystery novels full of wit and trivia. Oh, and she's in her 80s or close to it and is still writing novels. "

    " Elizabeth Peters writes some of my favorite, lighthearted, sassy mysteries.  Some know of my secret addiction to trashy romance novels...this books mocks the entire romance culture and illustrates why I enjoy reading them.   "

    " Very funny murder mystery. Takes place at a convention for Romance Novelists and their fans. The heroine of the book, Jacqueline Kirby, librarian, hates harlequinn books but was sent for work. Her thoughts of the entire proceedings are hysterical. "
