<p><big><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">"Stoddard isn't afraid to write about the seedier aspects of rock 'n' roll and the backstage goings-on...The book emphasizes rock 'n' roll, but not at the expense of the mystery, which is packed with surprises. There are so many layers, motives, and hidden agendas that I had a good time untangling it all." -</span><i style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">P.J.

She is one of those heroines you'd like to be friends with, and you'll find yourself rooting for her throughout the novel. I also found myself becoming invested in her friends and co-workers, and hope that they become recurring characters. It's always nice to discover a new author, and I look forward to reading more of Anne Marie Stoddard's work." </span><i style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;line-height:normal;">-Cozy Mystery Book Reviews</i></p>
