Praise for
Edited to Death
“Strong focus, admirable prose, and a nifty story line.”
—
Library Journal
“Brave, if blithely arrogant, character Maggie Fiori [is] a thirty-something Oakland
writer/know-it-all sleuth/Volvo-driving wife and mom who solves the murder of her
boss, the urbane editor of a chichi regional magazine.”
—
San Francisco Chronicle
“If you are a Susan Isaacs fan, you will love Linda Peterson’s journalist cum sleuth,
Maggie Fiori. I couldn’t put the book down.”
—Jacqueline Winspear,
New York Times
bestselling author of the Maisie Dobbs mysteries
“
Edited to Death
is an exceptional debut. With an engaging protagonist and a likeable cast, Linda
Peterson brings a fresh new voice to a crowded field.”
—Sheldon Siegel,
New York Times
bestselling author of
The Confession
and
Final Verdict
“Heroine Maggie Fiori’s love of trivia makes for a great detective. As any crime buff
knows, it’s the little things that count. This book is smart, fast, and funny—a mystery
to remember long after the last page.”
—Terry Ryan, author of
The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio
“An entertaining debut that crackles with snappy dialogue, a rich and textured sense
of San Francisco, and an appealing heroine who is as witty as she is resourceful.
Sit back and enjoy the ride.”
—Jonnie Jacobs, author of
Intent to Harm
and
Murder Among Strangers
