Isabella asked for help locating new books by Dicey Deere:
“So can someone please comment on what Dicey Deere is doing, and whether there is a chance of her writing anymore books.
I know that there are many authors out there, but I really love her writing and how the stories take place in Ireland.”
Does anyone know if Dicey Deere is writing under another name?
Stephanie says
Apparently, her real name is Harriet La Barre.
Info on her next book, Isabella, can be found at:
http://harrietlabarre.com/HarrietLabarre.com/Home.html
It’s a suspense thriller, though. She also writes romances and self-help books, it seems.
I found this out by googling Dicey Deere, from which I learned (from her publisher’s site) that she lives in Sag Harbor, NY. I then googled “Dicey Deere” and “Sag Harbor” and found the site http://www.fineartistmade.com/testimonials.php, which mentioned her true name.
I guess I’m just good at google stalking. ๐

Thank you so much, Stephanie. I believe this is record speed between posting a Cozy Mystery site reader’s question, and getting the answer.
Isabella says
Thanks much Stephanie. Really appreciate it. It does pay to be a google stalker :). HAGD

Oh thank you so much for all the ‘sleuthing’ on Dicey Deere . . .I just finished the 4 ‘Irish . . . series’ books featuring Torey Tunnet . . . the 4th one was published 10 years ago, in 2004!! . . . Oh I do miss Torey already . . . and Ms. Deere’s writing style was wonderful!! I could not put any of the books down . . . and could never figure out early on ‘who dun it’. I do wish she would write more ‘Irish . . ‘ series books.

Thank you ladies: I just this morning finished The Irish Manor House Murder, and now have read them all; I do hope she continues this series, so very good really, makes me want to take off for Ireland:)
Jenny says
Best series ever. Would like to read more Irish mystery series. I just finished the manor murder mystery already hungry for more.
