About
The Gatsby Game
:
This novel offers a possible solution to a real unsolved Hollywood mystery—the death in 1973 of David Whiting during the filming of the Burt Reynolds’ movie, "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing". Whiting was found dead in the motel room of the actress Sarah Miles. It destroyed Sarah Miles' career and her marriage.
When Nicky Conway meets Fitzgerald-quoting Alistair at a Princeton mixer in 1969, she falls for his retro, Jazz-Age charm. But she discovers he’s a con man obsessed with his own “Daisy”—British actress Delia Kent. After Alistair manipulates Nicky into nannying for Delia’s daughter on the set of aHollywood film, Delia finds Alistair dead in her motel room. Local police can’t decide if it’s accident, suicide—or murder, in which case, Nicky is the prime suspect.
Includes a foreword by UK best-seller Saffina Desforges ("Sugar & Spice")

About
Sherwood Ltd.
: (A Camilla Randall Mystery)
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 designer 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 in merry England. Of course, life is never that straightforward for the Manners Doctor. Especially when she finds herself living in a warehouse full of smutty books!
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.

About
The Best Revenge (A Camilla Randall Mystery)
In this prequel novel to Anne R. Allen's other 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.
