This Mystery Writers of America Grand Master, who writes as both Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels, has long been a favorite with romance readers. In Die for Love, she offers a satirical look behind the scenes at a fictitious romance
writers' convention. Jacqueline Kirby (the sharp-tongued, quick-witted, good-looking librarian from Coldwater College, Nebraska) is eager for any legitimate-sounding business trip to add some excitement to her life. But she's swept off her feet by dangerous deceptions when she attends a gathering of historical romance writers and their fans -- and finds that murder is on the agenda. It's going to take all of Jacqueline's considerable skills to determine who is the deadly criminal among the myriad agents, authors,
journalists, and fans who have gathered for this event -- each of whom seems to have something to hide.

3.5 stars. I do like quick-witted, flamboyant, quirky Jacqueline Kirby, and this story has plenty of wit and fluff, taking place at a romance writer's convention. Not my favourite Kirby mystery, but well done for what it is.
