Publisher's Summary

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.

Solid story but dated

Unlike Peter's Amelia Peabody series this has not aged as well. The story is solid sometimes tongue in cheek and self aware, the mystery is enjoyable and our Protagonist is well written; witty, smart, intelligent and sarcastic. But the attitudes of the time it was written are abundant without the charm or craft that comes with reading historical fiction.
