About the Author

After majoring in Spanish, D.R. Ransdell took a job in Durango, Durango, Mexico, so that she could work on her language skills. She originally signed a one-year contract,but by the end of the school year she was having so much fun that she couldn't stand to leave. She spent five years in Durango, teaching English, playing in the orchestra, learning songs, and spending time with her new friends. Her favorite Saturday nights were spent at house parties where guests fought over the guitar. When she returned to the U.S., she was so homesick for Mexico that she joined a mariachi band. Within weeks she had ideas for dozens of murder mysteries!
