In this novel Jacqueline attends a murderous convention of the Historical romance Writers of the World and must sort out the suspicious death of a reporter who threatened the success of the most powerful and unscrupulous Romance publisher in that lucrative business. Of course Elizabeth Peters takes some irresistible potshots at the romance business and indulges in some amusing satire of the novels themselves.
I don't really like Jacqueline Kirby. She's an intellectual, sexually liberated, middle-aged, attractive feminist and I personally find her rather repellent. However, I still find her and the books in which she stars very entertaining.
It was an entertaining book with no swearing and no sex. I really like Elizabeth Peters.
