...and rather amazing, too.
More than three months after it was released, Plaster and Poison is back on the Davis-Kidd bestseller list at #5 - HERE - and I don't think it was the two copies I sold on Thursday night...

Romantic Times likes Plaster and Poison!
I can't share the review yet, but it'll be in the April issue of Romantic Times Book Reviews, and it'll be on newsstands sometime in March.
I do know that it's a 4 star review, and that says, among other nice things, that it's a 'solidly built mystery' whose 'attractive characters and beautiful setting round out this wonderful read.'
So there! Thanks for another stellar review, Paige Traynor!

A Pull-No-Punches Mystery!
Yep, that's what the divine Miss Harriet Klausner calls "Plaster and Poison."
The first review is in, and you can read it HERE.
Among other nice things, Miss Klausner calls the book 'delightful' and the plot 'solid and entertaining.'

Updated back cover copy for DIY#3 - PLASTER & POISON
...because I whined about the original. I like this better:
Avery Baker was once a New York designer, but inheriting her aunt’s old Maine cottage has led her down a new career path in home renovation. Finding a property’s hidden potential has rewards and challenges—especially when a mystery surfaces behind the walls...
Avery’s friend, bed and breakfast owner Kate McGillicutty is finally getting hitched to police chief Wayne Rasmussen. They've asked Avery and her boyfriend, Derek, to renovate an old carriage house behind the B&B. It's a daunting task, especially since Avery’s mother is arriving in town for a lengthy stay (and to judge—ehem—meet Derek), but Avery’s not stressed. She’s excited to remake the seen-better-days carriage house into a romantic Parisian-style retreat.
But the course of home repair never did run smooth, even when sanders are involved. One night at the carriage house, Avery stumbles across a lifeless body amidst the paint cans and plaster. It turns out that the murder victim was someone Kate knew all too well. All of a sudden, this small town is abuzz with big suspicions, and Avery realizes she must unravel the mysterious murder before Kate can tie the knot…
So there you have it.

Good News
So apparently it's official: the title for DIY# 3 is PLASTER AND POISON, according to the email I got from my editor at Berkley Prime Crime today.
And another nice little tidbit of good news: apparently the release date is March 2010, not May 2010 - in other words, two months sooner than originally planned!
No cover yet, but here's the back cover blurb as of right now, with qualifications; it might change:
Avery Baker was once a New York designer, but inheriting her aunt’s old Maine cottage has led her down a new career path in home renovation. Finding a property’s hidden potential has rewards and challenges—especially when a mystery surfaces behind the walls...
Local bed and breakfast owner Kate McGillicuty and Waterfield Police Chief Wayne Rasmussen are finally tying the knot. They've asked Avery and her boyfriend, Derek, to renovate an old carriage house behind the B&B. It's a daunting task, but Avery plans on remaking the relic into a romantic Parisian-style retreat.
But the course of true love--and home repair--rarely runs smooth. As proven when Avery stumbles across a lifeless body in the carriage house. And now, Avery's to-do list reads: find wallpaper…lay insulation…solve murder!
