“Murder in the Past Tense is a smart, funny, tender novel that supplies back stories for characters in the Miss Prentice [Cozy Mystery] series. . . . Amelia Prentice Dickensen, English teacher, is on the brink of her biggest adventure—giving birth. Oh, and solving a decades-old murder mystery to boot! E. E. Kennedy is one heck of a writer and I love her books because there’s always a new world to enter; this outing explores the rich lore of the theater. If you haven’t read Irregardless of Murder and Death Dangles a Participle, you’re missing out. Catch up, and then add another satisfying layer with Murder in the Past Tense.”—Stephanie Reed, author of The Bargain, Book One of Plain City Peace
“I’m a former English teacher and a grammar Nazi, a dangerous combination. I love Murder in the Past Tense! . . . Amelia spends a great deal of time reminiscing about her childhood and her one theatrical experience. Having grown up in the theatre, I was taken down memory lane with her. Amelia’s accurate theatrical memories give the reader a glimpse into her teen years. However, you don’t have to be a grammar Nazi or a theatre buff to get caught up in this mystery. It grabs you on page one and never lets go until the last period.”—Vandi Clark, actress, stage, screen and TV, in NBC’s upcoming series Salvation.
