Danger, Suspense, and a touch of Romance!
A romantic suspense novel that has some interesting twists and turns that kept me guessing till the end! I read this book in one sitting... I had to find out who was behind it all! This author had a wonderful way of bringing clues to your attention, but still have you jumping from thinking it was one person then another! I really enjoyed going along Claire and Tony's journey!

This is a book that was written in the 1990s and is somewhat refreshing. I was just wondering this past weekend how we used to live without cell phones and Tony and Claire reminded me how in this cozy mystery.
Claire works for a big NYC editor and her biggest author contract is ready to publish, when they are confronted with someone claiming that her book was stolen by this said author. Tony's has read the book, supposedly written by a former student, in snatches along the way and is sure that Sarah Winesong stole it. Together, Claire and Tony work hard to solve this mystery, as crimes and murders are being committed at every turn. Everyone seems suspect in this tricky case.
I failed to feel a connection between Claire and Tony, yet they were declaring their deep feelings for one another quite quickly. I've heard it said that love and hate are two very closely related emotions and that seems to be the case with these two. Both have a stubborn streak and are very quick to judge. I never felt that I really got to know who these characters truly are.
The way the story played out, especially the mystery element, is great! I love trying to guess who the villain is and had a hard time guessing in this story. For me, the elements of suspense and the setting are the highlights of the book. As with a lot of mystery books, the climax came to a head quite quickly, in a very suspenseful way, but I was satisfied with how it all wrapped up. This is a little edgier than most cozy mysteries I've read, but still fun.
Content: moderate language; mild-moderate violence (murders, crimes--not too graphic, but some details); moderate romantic elements (kissing; innuendo; two instances of characters being touchy, one scene right at the very end, but it's not too detailed)

Oh boy…Ms. Gamble’s suspenseful writing just keeps getting better and better (I didn’t know “who dunit” until the very end)! There was just the right amount of romance in this mystery that takes place in the authorship/publishing world. You kinda knew from hints in the thought processes of Tony and Claire that they were interested in each other, but that didn’t interfere with the suspenseful events and action that led up to the final conclusion of this terrific story. I really loved this story and I’m grateful to the author for writing it.
