Review
"Anna Porter's The Bookfair Murders is really two stories: a murder mystery set against a background of wheeling and dealing in the publishing game - a John Grisham with book agents instead of lawyers - and a romantic adventure of the kind Mary Stewart used to write."
"Anna Porter's mischievous pen again zeroes in on the scene she knows best in this new novel featuring editor Marsha Hillier and her trusty sidekick, Toronto freelance journalist Judith Hayes . her fans will relish this new offering."
"Deft, incisive and gripping."
