Doug Moe on Madison Author Mary Holmes


Doug Moe: Madison murder mystery author back with a vengeance. (Wisconsin State Journal, 1/18/2012)

Excerpt:   That's because Holmes, a Madison resident since 1979, is better known as Maddy Hunter, author of the "Passport to Peril" mystery series, half a dozen novels set in far-flung locales. 

The books are what is known in the trade as "cozy" mysteries, which means a general lack of gratuitous violence, graphic sex and foul language. 

Which is not to say people don't get killed. 

After an absence of several years, Holmes/Hunter and her tour guide heroine, Emily Andrew, are back with a new mystery, "Dutch Me Deadly," set in Holland and to be published next month. The launch party is Feb. 18 at 1 p.m. at Booked for Murder.
