        August 1, 2015
        Resort manager Jane Steward is running a romance fest at Storyton Hall for Valentine's Day. Famous but reclusive author Rosamund York, who has as many enemies as fans (sometimes the categories overlap), is in attendanceat least until she is murdered. Jane naturally wonders who would have been angry enough to kill her. Journalist Nigel argued with the victim the afternoon of her murder; another author threatened her; and the list of grudge-bearing hangers-on seems endless. What Jane learns leads her to Nigel's real role in Rosamund's life and work, a secret that would have shocked fans. In between running festival events and taking care of her twin boys, Jane spends every minute sleuthing, hoping to limit the bad press sure to plague the resort. Literary references, long with humorous details on romance-genre events, will please readers of cozy biblio-mysteries. A natural read-alike for Lorna Barrett's Booktown series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
