Overview
When a romance authors’ convention turns deadly, literary agent Jane Stuart finds herself cast as suspect and sleuth...Tina Vale, the new vice president and publisher of Corsair Books, made more than a few enemies as she slept and schemed her way to the top. Now Tina has a score to settle with Jane Stuart. Nearly twenty years ago, Jane married Tina’s former lover. Now that Tina’s in charge, she aims to make Jane pay by canceling her client’s milliondollar contract.
As the local hotel struggles to accommodate the annual RAT (Romance Authors Together) convention and a cat show, Jane tries to conduct business, win Winky a ribbon, and come to terms with Tina’s bombshell. But soon she has even more on her plate. When Tina fails to show up for her own awards ceremony, she is found dead in her bath, electrocuted with one of her prized antique toasters.
There are nearly too many suspects to count, but chief among them is Jane herself. And so, with the reluctant blessing of her boyfriend, police detective Stanley Greenberg, she begins to unravel the mysteries behind Tina’s many enemies...and find out which one hated her enough to kill...
“Toasting Tina is a cozy in every sense of the word and it is the perfect book to curl up with.”
