Rating: 5 out of 5

I received a notice from the author that the book was available, immediately took a look at the product page and was drawn by the cover and the title.I am a writer of historical fiction, and I rarely read romance novels, but I did read High Seas Deception and was pleasantly surprised.  Having just finished touching up my own fourth novel, I downloaded "Dead Girl in a Green Dress" looking for a diversion, and I read it in a single sitting.  There was just the right balance between mystery and romance to keep me interested.  The attacks on Byrony are a bit contrived, but less so because of the off season resort setting on one of the Great Lakes.The reluctance of cops to stir things up also makes sense because of the setting.  In this genre, the book is worthy of a five, because it does exactly what a romance novel is supposed to do--it is good escapist romance with sex that steams but does not overboil. It left me feeling satisfied and yes, entertained.  Now I can get back to work researching my next tome and hope that by the time I am finished, "Aunt Cindy" McCary will have a couple of similar good book waiting to help me with my winddown. And yes, the title and cover do fit the plot. No twenty-year old girl in this century would go to a  tryst at a beach resort in an Oscar de la Renta. Cut-25 or Young, Fabulous and Broke,yes, but not in a de la Renta.  And those little touches really make a difference to the credibility of a writer.
