Bad Tidings We Bring!
There's nothing I'd rather be doing this time of year then singing Christmas carols while I trim my tree, and snuggling next to my man Alex while we watch "It's a Wonderful Life" for the umpteenth time. But this season, it seems some Grinch with a really bad sense of humor is delivering packages of rotting rats and death threats to me and the other authors who contributed to the mystery collection No Secret Anymore.
To You and Your Kin!
Sure, even I'll admit the book was terrible. But why can't this sicko just go to the bookstore and get a refund? It's Christmas, buddy—not Halloween! But then Jonathan West—the brainchild of No Secret Anymore—turns up dead, and me and Alex aren't so sure anymore that the murderer is a just a disgruntled reader...
Bad tidings for Christmas—and a Murderous New Year!
Jonathan had finally completed a new novel, which his agent claimed to be his best. This leads us to think maybe a jealous rival is the killer—that is, until two of Jonathan's obsessed fans surface. So now the we're scrambling to solve this mystery before eight writers—including yours truly—don't live to see the New Year...

Mystery writer and amateur sleuth Maggie Kelly gets an unseasonable Christmas package in her fifth outing (after 2005's High Heels and Homicide
), a blithe mix of romantic fantasy and whodunit plotting. With the help of the Viscount Saint Just (her fictional Regency Era creation miraculously come to life as a handsome, protective suitor), her ex-boyfriend, NYPD detective Steve Wendell, and her publisher, Bernice Toland-James, Maggie figures out she's not the only mystery writer to receive a dead rat and death threat in the mail. Maggie wonders about a recently deceased colleague, an apparent suicide, and her suspicion becomes alarm when another writer turns up murdered. Maggie's wit and Saint Just's antics will raise the holiday spirits of Michaels's fans. -

Mystery author Maggie Kelly (High Heels and Homicide) and her once fictional, now real boyfriend Viscount Saint Just deal with some very bad fan mailthreats have been sent to authors who contributed to a mystery anthology, and Maggie is next on the list. Best-selling romance author Michaels (Everything Is Coming Up Rosie) has a following, but readers who are not already familiar with the quirky characters will not find this the best entryway into the series.
