DON’T MURDER YOUR MYSTERY by Chris Roerden
If you’re interested in writing fiction, this is the reference book for you. It offers practical advice for the aspiring writer as well as useful reviews for the established author. Nowhere else have I seen as clear an explanation of such factors as why we use a 12-point Courier font, the perils of prologues, and the value of invisible tags like “he said”. You don’t have to be a mystery writer to make use of this text. Its wisdom applies to all genres across the board. Available online from Amazon or barnesandnoble.com, or go to www.bellaroseabooks.com
HOTEL SECRETS from the Travel Detective by Peter Greenberg
Excellent exposé of insider secrets from the customer’s viewpoint, including where to find good room rates, tips on cleanliness, room design features that can make your stay more comfortable, how to get better service, security, and more. It’s quite illuminating to read this book and nod your head, agreeing with many of the author’s comments based on your own experience. If nothing else, it’ll make you more savvy when booking your next reservation.
TO LOVE AND TO PERISH by Laura Durham
Carolyn Crabbe, popular wedding planner, is found dead by her competitor, our delightful sleuth, Annabelle Archer. It’s a pleasure to greet again Annabelle’s cronies: Richard the caterer, Kate the assistant, Fern the male hairdresser, nosy neighbor Leatrice who wears clothing that make noise, and Annabelle’s potential suitors, Ian and Reese. As always, I enjoy reading behind-the-scene details that go into weddings, while Annabelle snoops out the suspects. A fun, fast read.
