Resumen del Editor

The annual Historical Romance Writers of the World convention in New York City is calling to Jacqueline Kirby, a Nebraska librarian who desperately desires some excitement. But all is not love and kisses at this august gathering of starry-eyed eccentrics and sentimental scribes. As far as Jacqueline is concerned, the sudden "natural" death of a gossip columnist seems anything but. And when she's approached by a popular genre star who fears for her own life, the resourceful Ms. Kirby quickly goes back to work...as a sleuth.

There's a sinister scenario being penned at this purple prose congregation. And when jealousy and passion are released from the boundaries of the printed page, the result can be murder.

©1984 Elizabeth Peters (P)1997 Blackstone Audio

A good listen

A decent story which will pass the time in an entertaining way. Grace Conklin reads it well but, as in all the books she reads, she mispronounces half a dozen words over the course of each book which is jarring to those who are familiar with them.

Love Elizabeth’s Peter’s books but this isn’t one of the best

I have read this book twice and now listened on audible and it’s just not engaging. Especially compared to Elizabeth Peters other books. Just kind of boring and I didn’t care about the characters at all

The usual enjoyable romp!!

How can you go wrong with Ms. Peters writing, Grace Colin narrating, and Jacqueline Kirby as the "star"?
I don't know if it is the first JK novel by Ms Peters but this is the start of her career as a writer of romantic novels. It is clever and has a fine mystery in the midst of the wonder that is Jacqueline and her purse!! I enjoyed it!!

A fun comment on the romance industry of the 1980s

Elizabeth Peters’ strong-minded librarian heroine takes advantage of an opportunity to escape a small-town Nebraska winter by attending a historical romance writers conference. Cynical commercial shenanigans lead to murder and Jacqueline takes a hand in solving it. Some of the issues of the 1980s remain in the 21st century, and many of the characters show snobbery about romance novels and their readers, but we can also,see that a lot of progress has been made in the world of romance publishing.

The Perfect Package - Great book, great narration.

"Die for Love" is a treat, with great narration supplied by Grace Conlin. Because I'm an Amelia Peabody fan, it took me a while to venture out into the other books by Elizabeth Peters, but I'm glad I did. "Die for Love" takes place at a Romance Writers' convention, and Peters taps into the high level of absurdity available in that situation. All of Peters' protagonists are gusty, self-assured women who don't hesitate to pursue whichever objective might capture their curiosity, and Jacqueline Kirby is no different. She is outrageous, outspoken, and delightful, and the cast of supporting characters are perfect foils for her pursuit of truth, justice, and a good meal (paid for by someone else).
I'm partial to Barbara Rosenblat's narrations of Elizabeth Peters' work, but Grace Conlin does a capable job, capturing Kirby's witticisms and sarcasm. I thoroughly enjoyed the listening experience and recommend it!

Absurd, silly, and a lot of fun!

What happens when a lot of romance writers and wanna-be writers get together in New York? Lots of pink hearts everywhere, and a lot of cattiness. Jacqueline Kirby wants to get away from her dull librarian job in the mid-west, so uses the romance-writers convention as a tax-deductible excuse to hit the Big Apple. Along the way, she solves a murder, prevents another, and finds a new career! So absurd, you'll be laughing through the whole book!

Die for Lov

Just thought that this being the last Vickie Bliss book, it would go out with a little more excitement. I had really been looking forward to this book and was somewhat dissapointed. Still love Vickie B and her boss. He is truly a hoot.

A funny Romance

A great twist on historical romance and murder that only Elizabeth Peter's mind could invent.

Love this book

All of Elizabeth Peters’ books are fantastic and hilarious. This one is especially good—a terrific send-up of the romantic novel industry of the 1980s.
It took me a while to get used to the narrator’s style, but it was good.

Audible, please get the Rosenblat version

Elizabeth Peters is at her funny, charming best -- but the narration is terribly disappointing, especially when so many of Peter's books are read by Barbara Rosenblat!

Audible needs to get the whole Kirby series with Barbara Rosenblat as narrator.
