familiar characters, familiar turf; fresh writing
Okay, so if you;re not a red sox fan, or not conversant with the geography of boston, you might not cozy up to this book. but I;m a mad sox fan, as anybody who knows me would attest, and this is a mystery that actually features the sox's 2007 team, and other very nicely-drawn characters--some real, some not. It;s interesting, moves along smartly, and builds to a nail-chewer finish. because it ...

Love Her Madly
My thoughts on this book are extremely high. I thought of it being one of the best books I actually read this year. The reason I was so addicted to this book I think is because of the Rona Leigh Mystery that was going on. This book was so good that it was impossible for me to put down. I was reading at least 3-5 hours a day and on weekends. For me it was a quick read. I highly recommend it to ...

Loss of innocence
No one locked their doors. Few mothers drove cars. Kids walked to school, church, and the neighborhood grocery, and played under street lights at dusk. On the surface, Mary-Ann Tirone Smith's 1950's childhood was idyllic. But scratch that surface, and it quickly becomes apparent that nothing could be further from the truth. First, there was her remote mother, always on the verge of the then ...

Not a Moment Too Soon
Goodbye, tongue-tied! hello saucy! I just memorized all the great lines from this way too much fun book, and now I can mow them down at parties when the talk turns snappy. I only wish Phoebe had come into my life sooner! I can't wait for the author's next book!

Grand Central Publishing, 1994

Unguessable ending to a riveting psychological thriller
This book springboards from the real-life fire 50 years ago that killed hundreds of people and destroyed the Ringling Bros. circus when it played in Hartford. One child survived, grew up and married a mysteriously solicitous fireman. This is the story, not only of their marriage, but of the secrets that, like one layer of an onion after another, peel off and reveal, finally, the unguessable ...

give me more!
It's been a while since I read this book, but I have no trouble remembering how hard it was to put down. It was a unique read, well conceived characters, swift moving plot, a refreshing brevity of language, ( dare I say for a female author?), and lots of surprises. What more can you ask for, you say? Well, I only ask for more, more, more! Unfortunately, this is the only book that this author has ...

Mary-Ann Tirone Smith

Amazon Remainders Account, 1998

ABSORBING, INTELLIGENT, SUSPENSEFUL
Gossipy and gripping, glamourous and gritty aren't contradictions in An American Killing but add zest to the mix in this intriguing multi-tiered thriller by Mary-Ann Tirone Smith. After four critically praised literary endeavors, including Masters Of Illusion (1994) and The Port Of Missing Men (1989), Ms. Smith has gracefully repaired to the thriller field. Her first effort in this genre is ...
