About the Author

C J Verburg is an award-winning playwright, director, and author of best-selling books including the international literature collections Ourselves Among Others and Making Contact. She started her literary career at age one as a storyteller to stuffed animals, and continued as an in-house and freelance editor in Boston and San Francisco. On Cape Cod she collaborated with the artist and author Edward Gorey on numerous theatrical and other adventures, which inspired her multimedia memoir Edward Gorey On Stage: Playwright, Director, Designer, Performer, as well as her play Spin, or Twilight of the Bohemians. Along with assistant-directing twenty-odd Gorey plays, she directed several of her own, and (by the playwrights' permission) a workshop of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle and the unofficial U.S. premiere of Peter Shaffer's The Gift of the Gorgon. She's currently writing new contemporary mysteries in both her Edgar Rowdey Cape Cod series and her international Cory Goodwin series, and working on a historical saga about East Coast adventurers who voyaged to San Francisco in the 1850s.

Reviews

"This book was great. Fun characters, great mystery. She's a really good writer - the characters are well fleshed out, and marvelously quirky (just like real people). It was very difficult to figure out whodunit just because they were all so normally crazy. Can't wait to read more of this series.""Cape Cod has a natural appeal for anyone who loves ocean beaches and a sense of history, and when you throw in plenty of descriptions of good food, a heroine named Vivaldi, and a puzzling death, you have the ideal ingredients for great reading. I enjoyed every twist and turn in the plot as well as the quirky characters who kept showing unexpected relationships and strange secrets that kept me guessing right up to the final revelations.""'Croaked' has everything I want in a mystery: Wonderful kooky characters, a plot that keeps you turning pages, terrific dialog, humor, great local color, ...oh yes, and murders, too. I enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommended!""Since I'm from Cape Cod, I found it very engaging. I read it in three days because I couldn't put it down!""This book is a real page-turner with many moving pieces, wonderfully fey characters, and delightful surprises throughout. Great Cape Cod color, terrific fun, and a must for anyone who loves to curl up with a good mystery."
