Customer Reviews

Not a romance, but about romance writers.

Good murder mystery, but not great. Perry Trethowan is, unfortunately, at a romance writer's convention to help his sister over her shyness. As it were, while he, the Scotland Yard investigator is prowling around the grounds, he hears a scream which is his sister and finds the body of Amanda Fairchild, one of the genre's premier writers (or is she?). Not a terribly surprising finish to the book, but still satisfying.
