​​​"The only “problem” with all of this author’s books is that they grip my attention so much that I read through them in two days!" ~Peregrine (Verified Amazon Reader)

In Anna Gerard's third delightful Georgia B&B mystery, Nina Fleet learns that despite the satin, lace, and buttercream trappings, weddings often prove to be anything but sweet...

Nina Fleet might be new to the innkeeping business, but she's savvy enough to know that Cymbeline's tourists aren't enough to keep her fledgling bed and breakfast going. And so, Nina decides to tap into the destination wedding market by taking a booth at the Veils and Vanities Bridal Expo. But everything goes wrong during the expo's fashion show, when a woman comes tumbling out of an oversized prop wedding cake, strangled to death by her own scarf.

Excellent storytelling, a murder mystery that keeps one guessing till the end and a dash of humor...an entertaining and engrossing cozy mystery... ~The Book Decoder

To die, or not to die? Georgia B&B proprietor Nina Fleet turns amateur thespian to bring the curtain down on a Shakespearean actor's killer.

​

Putting on a theatrical production can literally be murder. That’s what bed-and-breakfast owner Nina Fleet learns when she hosts the Georgia Amateur Shakespeare Performers for a 10-day stay. The GASP troupe has arrived in the south Georgia town of Cymbeline for the annual Shakespeare festival, ready to put on a killer performance of Hamlet. And that’s when the real drama begins.

“Bright and breezy…Gerard provides it all...”
~ Publishers Weekly

Nina Fleet’s life ought to be as sweet as a Georgia peach. Awarded a tidy sum in her divorce, Nina retired at 41 (along with her Australian Shepherd, Matilda) to a historic Queen Anne house in quaint Cymbeline, GA. But Nina’s barely settled into her new B&B-to-be when a penguin shows up on her porch. Or, at least, a man wearing a penguin suit. And then Nina encounters the “penguin” again, this time lying in an alley with a kitchen knife in his chest.

So who in the world is Anna Gerard? She's another incarnation of author Diane A.S. Stuckart. Anna first made her appearance back in the 1990s when Diane was writing historical romance for Pinnacle Books. After a shakeup with the imprint she wrote for (as Alexa Smart!), she was moved over to the Zebra line. Her book DESERT HEARTS (Diane's only romance under the "Anna" name) was a western historical romance set in the Tombstone Arizona area. It featured lots of gun play, chases on horseback, kidnappings, bank robberies, lost treasure. Oh, and, of course, a few murders.

 

"Anna Gerard" was resurrected for Diane's series with Crooked Lane Books so as not to compete with her cozy cat series with other publishers that were written as Diane and also as Ali Brandon. But, not to worry...you'll see the same enjoyable cozy mysteries from Anna that you've been reading from Diane and Ali all these years!
