While at a recent library sale and, having heard that Peters was an excellent mystery author, I picked up several of her books.

I am somewhat disappointed in her Jacqueline Kirby novels. The first two books in this series were not as good as I had hoped. In fact, I started skimming the text about half-way through each so as not to lose contact with the plot, but to still finish the books as soon as possible.

This third novel in the series was much better. Almost all of it takes place in a Romance novel convention and the characters attending such made the story more interesting. In fact, the book reminded me of Sharon McCrumb's "Bimbos of the Death Sun" (an Edgar Allen Poe award winning novel) that takes place at a sci-fi convention. I really enjoyed that book, although its sequel was a bomb.

Meanwhile, I have some of the mysteries in Peters' archeological series. When I get around to reading them, I hope they are more interesting than the ones featuring Jacqueline Kirby.
