About the Book

Jane O'Connor, New York Times bestselling author, editor, and creator of the Fancy Nancy books for children presents Almost True Confessions, a mystery for grown-ups starring Miranda "Rannie" Bookman whom we met in Dangerous Admissions. What could be more fun for a freelance copyeditor than a juicy exposé about one of Manhattan's most beloved society doyennes? But when Rannie arrives at the east side apartment of reclusive author Ret Sullivan, she finds more than the final draft of the manuscript waiting for her: tied to the bed and strangled with an Hermès scarf is Ret's half-naked body. Was this merely a case of rough sex that got a little too rough, as the police believe? Or was Ret murdered because someone didn't want her to meet her deadline? Once again, the heroine of Jane O'Connor's Dangerous Admissions proves that her mind is just as sharp as her blue pencils in Almost True Confessions: Closet Sleuth Spills All, a mystery full of sly humor and romance.

About the Author :
Jane O'Connor was born and raised in the fabulous metropolis of New York City. That's where she still lives with her husband, Jim, although both their grown sons did something unfathomable (that means impossible to understand). They moved to the West Coast! Besides writing the Fancy Nancy series and other books for children, Jane spent her whole career as an editor at major publishing houses. Recently retired, she finds herself with something she never had before--free time to do whatever she pleases.

Review :
"O'Connor, a veteran children's book author (Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy), proves she can also please adults with a fresh, grammatically correct crime solver equally adept at deleting dangling participles and exposing psychotic killers." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "What--I ask you what!--could possibly be better than a book starring a Copy Editor?! (And what a clever way for an author to get that extra-special handling in the editing process.) "Dangerous Admissions: Secrets of a Closet Sleuth" is children's book author (the "Fancy Nancy" series) Jane O'Connor's first attempt at adult fiction, and it's a good one. (Did I mention its protagonist is a Copy Editor? Capital letters, stylebook be damned!)" - San Diego Union-Tribune "Parents who've savored "Fancy Nancy's" wit and wordplay are sure to enjoy "Dangerous Admissions,"a mystery featuring a New York private school mom who models herself after another Nancy: Nancy Drew.... "Dangerous Admissions" is sure to entertain." - Newsday "Let's just say that O'Connor, who has written more than 30 children's books, proves her adult chops, and reinforces the fact that copy editors do it all with style.... It's hard not to love a book in which grammar features as a clue to the identity of a killer...Grammarians rejoice. You have finally found your own sleuth." - New York Times Book Review "A freelancer's life may be difficult, but O'Connor makes it delectably death defying." - New York Times Book Review
