Susan Holtzer Better Than Sex: A Mystery Featuring Anneke Haagen
Minotaur Books 20020701 0312980051 / 9780312980054 MM Very Good
0312980051 0312980051 From Library Journal Series sleuth Anneke Haagen and Ann Arbor policeman Karl Genesko, honeymooning in San Francisco, get roped into attending a food-tasting at a new sports-themed restaurant. Unfortunately, an annoying Michigan graduate student conducting research on eating triggers is poisoned during the event, and the eight suspects at her table all have ties to the university at Ann Arbor. The restaurant owner pleads for Anneke and Karl's help, which they give, thus providing local police with an important link to Michigan information. Clever food-oriented repartee, satirical wit, and not a little romance will endear this to series fans and others. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Booklist Holtzer's Anneke Haagen, a computer consultant from Ann Arbor, returns in her seventh adventure. Anneke is on her honeymoon in San Francisco with new hubby Karl Genesko, ex-Pittsburgh Steeler and now Ann Arbor's chief of police. They make their way to the Maize and Blue Sports Bar, where they plan to enjoy the newest culinary trend--high-fat "Nouvelle Midwest" cuisine--while watching the University of Michigan football game. While all eyes are glued to the game, Lindsay Summers, a Michigan graduate student, drops dead after drinking a glass of unsalted tomato juice. Because the victim was on a crusade to make high-fat food as regulated as tobacco, and everyone sitting at her table had a financial stake in the licensing and sale of Nouvelle Midwest products, there is no lack of suspects with motive and means. Anneke and Karl reluctantly agree to help out the San Francisco police because so many of the suspects have ties back to Ann Arbor. Anneke learns more than she cares to about militant food purists in this lively and humorous tale. Stuart Miller Copyright ? American Library Association.

Susan Holtzer Curly Smoke: An Anneke Haagen Mystery
St. Martin's Paperbacks 1996 0312959435 / 9780312959432 MM Very Good
0312959435 0312959435 From Publishers Weekly Fire follows Ann Arbor, Mich., computer whiz and Art Deco collector Anneke Haagen in her second cozy outing (after Something to Kill For). After her house burns to the ground, she relocates to a cottage in an isolated courtyard dominated by five houses and becomes embroiled in a neighborhood dispute. The courtyard is the proposed site of a 16-story office park, but not all of the current owners are willing to sell. An old woman, one of two remaining holdouts, has just died of apparently natural causes. James, the most vocal of the graduate students who rent there, updates Anneke on the disagreement. When he is found strangled with dental tape, Anneke is convinced his murder is connected to the proposed sale. Convincing her lover, police detective and former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Karl Gennesko, takes a little effort. When the cottage bursts into flames, Anneke wonders whether the arsonist was aiming to get her to move or to kill her. Holtzer doesn't generate much heat in this mystery, but she orchestrates the elements well, setting her savvy sleuth in a recognizable Ann Arbor populated by campus activists and the town elite. Author tour. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal Set in Chilly Ann Arbor, Michigan, Holtzer's second mystery (following Something To Kill For, St. Martin's, 1994) features self-employed computer programmer and amateur sleuth Anneke Haagen. After her home is destroyed by fire, Anneke moves into a small residential enclave that is surrounded by businesses. Days after her relocation, Anneke discovers a body. The victim is an acquaintance who had fought to stop real estate developers from razing the neighborhood. With the aid of her police detective lover, the fortyish Anneke accumulates clues that will implicate one of her nine somewhat strange neighbors. Measured but inviting prose, refreshing characters, and crisp plotting. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Susan Holtzer The Silly Season: An Entr' Acte Mystery of the University of Michigan
Minotaur Books 20000401 0312970390 / 9780312970390 MM Very Good
0312970390 0312970390 From Publishers Weekly Decades after the famed Ann Arbor UFO sightings of 1966, intrepid University of Michigan journalism student Zoe Kaplan is on hand to witness and report on a new batch of appearances, in this fizzy fifth installment of the mystery series featuring computer consultant Anneke Haagen. Much to the amazement and amusement of Zoe's friends, her mentor, Anneke, and Anneke's fiance, police lieutenant Karl Genesko, Zoe parlays her summer sports slot on the Michigan Daily into a position as a stringer for the Associated Press. But when the college town is invaded by hordes of UFO followers?including a psychic channeler, a history professor, a professional debunker and a government conspiracy buff?Zoe has all she can handle covering their various theories behind the sightings. After the history professor is found electrocuted in a charred field, UFO groupies announce that he was killed by intergalactic travelers, and Karl must step in to ferret out the truth. Anneke, using information she gathers on the Web, helps him to sort out the contentious relationships among the UFO factions in order to pinpoint who had the most compelling reason to murder the man. Rife with low-key humor, Holtzer's (Black Diamond) purposefully lighthearted book serves as an entr'acte between Anneke and Karl's courtship and marriage while delightfully highlighting the bizarre reasoning common to zealots?whether UFOlogists or news reporters. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal Several mass UFO sightings in the Ann Arbor, MI, area propel the city into the news?mostly as the target of good-natured ribbing. Working for the local weekly, student intern Zoe Kaplan investigates the story and finds herself assailed by both annoying proponents of alien life and obnoxious debunkers. The subsequent murder of a garrulous spotlight-grabber at an alleged UFO landing site creates a problem for Lt. Karl Genesco and fiancee Anneke Haagen (Black Diamond, St. Martin's, 1997). Could it be murder by alien? Mostly lighthearted and smoothly told; recommended for most collections. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
