Mary-Ann Tirone Smith

Free Press, 2007

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 ...

Love Her Madly

Mary-Ann Tirone Smith

Brilliance Audio Unabridged, 2002

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 ...

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!

An American Killing

Mary-Ann Tirone Smith

Fawcett, 1999

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. ...

She Smiled Sweetly: A Poppy Rice Mystery

Mary-Ann Tirone Smith

Henry Holt and Co., 2004

superb! More Poppy Rice, please!
Smith has done it again with this enchanting series. Poppy Rice is an enduring character whose sleuthing takes her this time to Ireland. The atmosphere is just right and the suspensefulness of the plot makes this a stay-up-til-four-in-the-morning-to-finish- it kind of ...
