Bell, Book, and Scandal

Description

One would never guess to look at suburbanite homemaker Jane Jeffry that she would be interested in murder, but she’s practically an expert on the subject. Which is why, with best buddy Shelley Nowack in tow, Jane’s booking down to a nearby mystery writers’ convention to mingle with the agents, publishing bigwigs, and famous authors … and to maybe drum up interest in her own recently completed manuscript.

But what would a mystery convention be without a mystery? So when a famous ego-squashing editor is undone by an anonymous poisoner, and a much hated book-bashing journalist is himself bashed quite nastily in the parking lot, Jane and Shelley jump right on the case, ready to snoop, eavesdrop, and gossip their way to a solution. But the would-be killer they seek is no open book. And trying to read him/her/them may turn out to be harder — and deadlier — than anyone initially imagined.

“Jane Jeffrey is irresistible!” “Churchill delivers a satisfying plot laced with subtle humor and some enjoyable gothic flourishes.” “Churchill is the master of the suburban mystery.”
