More About the Author

I wrote romance novels for years, but I finally had enough sex--at least on paper!--and decided it was time to start killing people.

So now I write funny, sexy murder mysteries. Check out my website for more details: www.nancymartinmysteries.com

This is a fun series but while I enjoy the character of Nora, I'm amazed at how stupid she can be when it comes to Mick.

I also wish the author would tone down Libby or write her out -- she's so annoying that it's painful to even read about her.

This latest installment of the Blackbird Mystery Series was so entertaining that I didn't want it to end. As always Nancy Martin writes with such wit and clever twists that keeps the pages turning quickly! The new supporting characters are just as quirky and likeable as the already established ones. This is such a great addition to an already fabulous series!

I selected this author for my mystery book club. I've read 4 of the Blackbird sisters mysteries starting with the first, How to Murder a Millionaire. Nora is somebody I'd like to meet. As the "responsible one," she's left holding the bag when her irresponsible parents abscond for parts unknown. Libby is the earthmother-nymphomaniac sister. Emma is drifting toward alcoholism. All three are saddled with the "marry a Blackbird and die" curse. Her descriptions of the ins and outs of Philadelphia's "old money" set are probably truer than we think. Apparently one can be "old money" in Charleston but considered otherwise in good old Phillie. These are light reads and would be perfect for vacation. And as for Michael Abruzzo, he can bring his tortellini over to my house anytime !!!
