Tears of the Dragon: An Elodie Browne Mystery (Elodie Browne Mysteries Book 1) Baxter, Holly Poisoned Pen Press, Inc., Elodie Browne Mysteries, 2011

To think of Chicago in the 1930s is to conjure up pictures of the Chicago Outfit and its earlier crime lords like Capone, to envision a gangsters' and bootleggers' haven in the Roaring Twenties and in the Depression that ended them. Even the storied history of the Cubs or of the city's merchant princes and philanthropists can't quite shake the city's gritty image. It's time for a new look. And here it is, a mystery with a warm family of widowed mother and four daughters at its core. Elodie (Elodie'rhymes with 'melody'), the Browne family bread-winner, lacks direct experience with crime, but she's full of curiosity, sharply observant, and nobody's fool. So when a man stumbles into a party given by a Chinese importer of jade and antiques where she is working 'for a lark'and extra cash' and utters a dying word'mingdow'she doesn't turn aside. Instead she begins to connect the murder with some odd doings in the office building where she works, events that began one night when the elevator door opened on the wrong floor'. Elodie's curiosity is up, and quickly bumps into a surprising intrusion of Chinese politics into the heart of Chicago. Her investigation sweeps the whole Browne family into unfamiliar and not very welcome territory'but leaves them with a taste for excitement sure to be slaked in future cases drawn by the master hand of author Holly Baxter

Tears of the Dragon: An Elodie Browne Mystery (Elodie Browne Mysteries) Baxter, Holly Scottsdale, AZ : Poisoned Pen Press, Browne family series, 1st ed, Scottsdale, AZ, 2005

<p><P>Tears of the Dragon launches an intelligent new cozy series set in Chicago, where the Browne family holds things together in the midst of the Depression. When Elodie Browne takes a job serving at a party given by an importer of antiques and jade, the evening is disturbedand the mystery beginsas a dying man stumbles in raving about Ming Dao.</p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p>Baxter takes the cozy a long way from Miss Marple's small village of St. Mary Mead to crime-ridden early 1930s Chicago in this refreshing and exciting series debut. Elodie Browne, a bright and promising young writer, hears strange noises one night when the elevator door opens on the wrong floor of her office building. Later, while working for extra money as a server at a party hosted by a wealthy Chinese importer, she witnesses a shocking scene: a guard shoots dead a bloodied man waving a knife and shouting what sounds like Mingdow. These two seemingly unrelated incidents propel the spunky Elodie into the corrupt heart of mob-ruled Chicago as well as into the tangled world of Chinese politics. Realistic characters, natural dialogue, well-integrated historical detail and a surprise twist ending mark this as superior mystery fare. Agent, Gelfman Schneider. (June 1) FYI: Baxter is the pseudonym of Paula Gosling (Fair Game), who has won the CWA's Creasey Dagger and Golden Dagger awards. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.</p>
