OrangeReviewStarRachel Goldman writes midlist mysteries featuring Duffy Madison, a consultant with a county prosector's office. Therefore, she is a trifle perturbed when someone named Duffy Madison shows up at her book signing. Turns out he is a consultant with the Bergen County prosecutor's office, and he wants Rachel to help him find Sunny Maugham, a missing writer who had helped kick-start Rachel's career. However, it soon becomes clear that Rachel could be the next victim of the "author assassin."
VERDICT Copperman, the pseudonym of crime writer Jeffrey Cohen and author of the "Haunted Guesthouse" mysteries, sets up an intriguing premise for his new series: Just who is Duffy Madison? The second book promises to investigate that very issue. Lots of fun.
