Vicki Delany

Canada (b.1951)

aka Eva Gates

Vicki began her career as a Sunday writer: a single mother of three high-spirited daughters with a full-time job as a computer programmer. Sunday afternoon was - and at that, only now and again - the only time she had to spend all by herself, with a single candle on her desk for a bit of atmosphere, a Bruce Springsteen tape in the tape deck, and a nice cup of tea at her elbow. When she felt like really letting loose, the tea might have turned into a glass of wine.

Vicki Delany recommends

Fiction Can Be Murder (2018)
(Mystery Writer's Mystery, book 1)
Becky Clark
"In FICTION CAN BE MURDER, Becky Clark gives us a fun and funny peek into the writers' life. Although in the case of her protagonist, the smart, likeable, and feisty Charlee Russo, that life includes the real murder of her agent. This clever mystery, first in a new series, is perfect for book lovers."

'Twas the Knife Before Christmas (2018)
(Christmas Tree Farm Mystery, book 2)
Jacqueline Frost
"Guaranteed to get you into the holiday spirit."

Trouble On the Books (2019)
(Castle Bookshop Mystery, book 1)
Essie Lang
"A likeable heroine, an intriguing mystery, and a full fun cast of characters I can’t wait to get to know better make this the perfect cozy read."

Murder in the Margins (2020)
(Open Book Mysteries, book 1)
Margaret Loudon
"Book stores and tea rooms and castles in England. Village fetes, charming police officers, and handsome aristocrats. Tea and Cornish pasties and fairy cakes. A town named Chumley-on-Stoke. Plus a writer struggling with writers block. What’s not to like in this absolutely delightful new series by Margaret Loudon? I can't wait to see what Pen Parish and her friends at The Open Book get up to next."

The Almost Wife (2021)
Gail Anderson-Dargatz
"In The Almost Wife, Gail Anderson-Dargatz delivers a master class in building suspense. From the first page, the suspense is perfectly crafted to build and build, slowly, steadily, relentlessly. Everyone in this book is keeping their secrets, past and present, all of them crossing over each other into a deadly, thrilling knot."

Chapter and Curse (2021)
(Chapter and Curse, book 1)
Elizabeth Penney
"Chapter and Curse is a delight from start to finish. Molly's pure joy in her new life and appreciation of her historic surroundings makes her a character you can't help but love. And want to meet again."
