Harlequin just released my theater-themed murder mystery DEATH TROUPE in paperback, and they did a fantastic job. They already published paperback versions of all four of the Frank Cole mysteries, and I've loved the cover art they've developed for every one of them, but they outdid themselves with DEATH TROUPE.

Hi Phyllis! So glad you're enjoying them . . . I'm pretty pleased with how DEATH TROUPE came out, so if you get the chance I think you'd enjoy reading it. All of my books are selling for $2.99 on Kindle, too, so they all qualify for the Cheap Reads.
