0.5. The Best Revenge
In this prequel to Anne R. Allen’s Camilla Randall mysteries, a young debutante loses everything: fortune, love, and eventually even her freedom when a TV star’s murder is mistakenly laid at her feet. Through it all, Camilla perserveres, however, and comes to learn that she is made of sterner stuff than anyone might have imagined, herself included. In typical Anne R. Allen fashion, the plot twists and turns from one breathless misadventure to another, leading to a finish sure to catch the reader by surprise.
1. Ghostwriters in the Sky
After her celebrity ex-husband’s ironic joke about her “kinky sex habits” is misquoted in a tabloid, New York etiquette columnist Camilla Randall’s life unravels in bad late night jokes.
Nearly broke and down to her last Hermes scarf, she accepts an invitation to a Z-list Writers’ Conference in the wine-and-cowboy town of Santa Ynez, California, where, unfortunately, a cross-dressing dominatrix plies her trade by impersonating Camilla.
When a ghostwriter’s plot to blackmail celebrities with faked evidence leads to murder, Camilla must team up with the dominatrix to stop the killer.
Meanwhile, a wannabe writer who happens to be a hot L.A. cop just may steal her heart.
2. Sherwood, Ltd.
Sherwood.
The name immediately conjures up images of Richard Greene, Michael Praed and Russel Crowe. Or maybe that sly fox in the Disney version.
Only, in Anne R. Allen’s latest rom-com mystery the fox is a coyote and there’s no Robin Hood.
Or is there?
In her usual inimitable fashion Allen peels back the layers, one hilarious subplot after another, until you just never know what’s real and what’s not. Rather like the Robin Hood legend.
When the Manners Doctor, Camilla Randall, flies into Robin Hood airport with a suitcase in one hand and a book contract in the other she thinks she’s leaving all her problems behind and is about to start a new life.
If you look very carefully you may just spot the Sheriff of Nottingham, Maid Marian and even Little John hidden away. But as for Robin Hood himself… You’ll just have to read it and find out.
3. No Place Like Home
Comedy with a conscience: The uber-rich editor of Home decorating magazine loses everything, including her Ponzi-schemer husband, when their luxury wine-country home mysteriously goes up in flames. But that’s just the beginning of Doria’s problems.
Homeless, destitute, presumed dead and branded a criminal, the once-proud Doria has a crash course in how the other half lives.
Meanwhile, reluctant sleuth Camilla Randall is facing homelessness and destitution too, as Doria’s husband’s schemes unravel and take down innocent bystanders along the way.
When the mysterious Mr X. turns up at Camilla’s bookstore expressing concern for the local homeless, Camilla is smitten. By now one might think once smitten, twice shy, but for Camilla, the search for love is a constant triumph of hope over experience.
As ever, Anne R. Allen weaves a unique blend of crazy characters [Mistress Nightshade, anybody?], crazy situations [would you believe a Colombian drugs cartel?] and laugh-out-loud one-liners that all somehow come together and make perfect sense at the end.
Oh, and did we mention the Wizard of Oz?
