"Anna brings a powerful new voice to the genre, seamlessly marrying polished prose and razor-sharp wit with snappy banter and a crackling romance. I was completely swept away."
—Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of Finlay Donovan is Killing It
Anna Fitzgerald Healy
Publishers Weekly
“Fiercely witty . . . Sparkling dialogue, copious twists, and evocative details of midcentury New England make this an impressive debut.”
Kirkus Reviews
"A romantic suspense novel bubbling with wit and the ever-present thrill of danger. This hybrid mystery/romance hearkens back to Austen’s novels of refined drawing room intrigue while revealing, beneath smiles and witty banter, the underside of human nature."
Booklist
“Demonstrating an impressive mastery of the genre, Healy’s sharp, cozy mystery debut sparkles with snazzy dialogue, vibrant characters, and clever period details.”
"Wonderfully witty, bracingly irreverent and strangely seductive, Etiquette for Lovers and Killers is a dry martini twist on the murder mystery."
—Beth Morrey, Sunday Times bestselling author of Clover Hendry’s Day Off
Etiquette for Lovers and Killers
"What are the chances of receiving a love letter, engagement ring, and phone call for a stranger, only to see her murdered the next day?"
“Biting, bubbly, and addictive—Etiquette for Lovers and Killers is a crisp glass of champagne overflowing in a vintage coupe. Equal parts clever and charming — a candy-coated thrill of a read.”
- Joan O’Leary, A Killer Wedding
