Mystery Books Theme: Dancers

April 10, 2011

A Cozy Mystery site reader asked that I do a post that featured mystery books with the “double” theme: Actor/Dancer. I divided the theme, and here is the part that features mystery books with a Dancers theme. I have only listed the authors who can be found on the Cozy Mystery site…

Ella Barrick (aka Laura DiSilverio & Lila Dare): Ballroom Dance Mystery Series

Susan Bernhardt: Irina Curtius Mystery Series

Carole Berry: Bonnie Indermil Mystery Series

Kaitlyn Dunnett (aka Kathy Lynn Emerson): Liss MacCrimmon Mystery Series

Shelley Freydont: Lindy Haggerty Mystery Series

Victoria Gilbert: Blue Ridge Library Mystery Series (a dancer and choreographer is a main character, but not the sleuth)

Mary McHugh: Happy Hoofers Mystery Series

Annette Meyers: Smith & Wetzon Mystery Series

Natalie M. Roberts: Jenny T. Partridge Dance Mystery Series

Here are two mystery books that are dance-themed:

Linda Fairstein: Death Dance (The rest of the Alexandra Cooper Mystery Series is not dance-related.)

Anne George: Murder on a Girls’ Night Out (The rest of the Southern Sisters Mystery Series is not dance-related.)

Leslie Meiers: Tippy Toe Murder (The rest of the Lucy Stone Mystery Series is not dance-related.)

Jane K. Cleland Is Giving Away a FREE Vintage Pucci Purse!

April 7, 2011

I always think that it is generous when famous, established authors run contests. And, I’m always happy to tell you about some of these contest. Here is the latest contest that is being held by a famous, established author:

Jane K. Cleland is running a contest to coincide with the release of her newest mystery in the Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery Series. Deadly Threads, the sixth Josie Prescott mystery, will be released in just a few days – April 12, 2011.

Since Deadly Threads is a mystery about “A tale of vintage clothing, a cat who fetches, and betrayal.” (I borrowed that quote from Cleland’s website), what better prize than a vintage Pucci purse?!? The contest runs until May 31, but you know what they say about the early bird and putting off until tomorrow…
