About the Author:
JANE GOLDEN, author of an Eastern European Mystery Series, was born with an inherent sense of adventure.
After practicing law for many years, she was unexpectedly thrust into the role of a diplomat wife in Eastern Europe. Much of the background material in her books is borrowed from personal travel experiences, including humorous insights and unique perspectives gained upon arrival in Bucharest. Jane's profound insights into the Romanian culture are eye opening in both books, igniting the curiosity of the reader while providing non-stop entertainment. Jane hopes her books, SECRETS IN THE VINES and DANUBE DEFIANCE, which are complete works of fiction, will disabuse Western readers of the "vampire" image of Romania and introduce the world to the beautiful, intriguing and lighter sides of the country and its people. Rich wines, a colorful culture, and great friends are all woven together in her travel mystery novels just as they were for her in real life.
At a time when our news sources paint a bleak picture of a frightening world and many people are afraid to travel, Jane Golden's travel mystery books are intended to offer up kinder, gentler places on earth which still exist and are worthy of a visit or extended vacation.

Together, they follow a river of clues and dead bodies. But will the thieves get them first Read to find out! CLARION REVIEW: 'Golden's first-hand knowledge of Romania is fascinating.' BLUEINK REVIEW: 'Nothing makes an overworked genre like mystery seem quite so fresh as a story set in an exotic locale. SECRETS IN THE VINES takes this theory to heart, offering up a murder mystery set in the wine country surrounding Romania. It's a winning formula.' 'Author Jane Golden drew on her own time in Bucharest to set up this tale, and it pays off nicely. Observations about the life of a foreigner trying to make sense of a new culture are spot-on and often funny; thoughts about parking customs and the laconic pace of government reflect an outsider's tendency to compare things to life at home, while also taking us deeper into the atmosphere. The mystery is gripping, but it's the setting that steals the show.' The review concludes with this about SECRETS IN THE VINES: It has a 'terrific pacing and a plot that ends well.' Better yet, the reviewer states that 'we're left wanting more of this juicy escapism.' KIRKUS REVIEWS: 'An engaging mystery that turns the classic expatriate dream on its head.' Marian Petrutza, President of the Romanian-American Press Association: 'The perfect vacation book. Colorful, entertaining, and beautifully written.'. Seller Inventory # 9781524556822
