DESCRIPTION:
Wickedly funny M. A. Burk Jacqueline Kirby at her scathing best. In addition to a cast of appealing--and not so appealing--characters, this book is one of the best send-ups of the romance genre ever written. The excerpts of the various faux novels are delicious in their sheer awfulness.Barbara Mertz was a writer of exceptional talent, capable of crafting Amelia Peabody, Vicky Bliss, and Jacqueline Kirby--three distinct characters with three unique voices. She will be sorely missed.And, oh, how I wish she had had the opportunity to write a satirical vampire romance!As with all of Ms. Mertz's books, this is highly recommended..

While she is there, a journalist dies under strange circumstances, and she finds herself trying to solve the murder while vying with the police.In the end, she comes to an understanding with Patrick, the officer in question, and takes a backhanded stab at writing a romance novel. This is a fun book and one I return to every so often.Elizabeth Peters, I'd love it if you wrote a couple mo. Five Stars Debbie Powers She is one of my favorite authors.
