The Barnes & Noble Review
In Jill Churchill's Bell, Book, and Scandal, the irrepressible Jane Jeffry discovers that truth is not only stranger than fiction…it's far more dangerous. When real crime rears its ugly head at a local mystery convention, sometime sleuth and would-be mystery writer Jane and her buddy Shelley Nowak are delighted to be on the spot to investigate. Unfortunately, there's no shortage of suspects in a convention hotel filled with avid readers, fanatic fans, aspiring authors, rival booksellers and agents, and published pros. Now, in a setting where the usual risks run to meeting ego-bruising editors, arrogant agents, and reprehensible reviewers (plus the occasional sneaky scandalmonger or pushy, self-published storyteller), Jane and Shelley prove that while they may be amateurs in the game of detection, their status as suburban moms makes them pros at gathering gossip and ferreting out secrets and scandals…even in the face of poisoning, head-bashing, or worse.

Bell, Book, and Scandal
To look at her, one would never think suburbanite homemaker Jane Jeffry would be interested in murder and mayhem. But given the corpses she's come across she's practically an expert on the subject. Which is why Jane's booking down to a nearby mystery writers' convention to mingle with the brightest lights of literary crime, and maybe drum up some interest in her own recently completed manuscript. But when a famous ego-squashing editor keels over at the speaker's podium, and a much-hated book-bashing journalist is himself bashed in the parking lot, it seems fairly certain that at least one real-life murderer is stalking the proceedings. Jane Jeffry is on the case, ready to snoop, eavesdrop, and gossip her way to a solution.
