Courte biographie: Michelle Wan

Michelle wrote her first book when she was five. It was hand-printed and almost a page long. A Bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Stanford University and an M.A. in geography from the University of Guelph did little to prepare Michelle for a professional life coaching tennis, teaching ESL in Rio de Janeiro, and working in international development, international higher education, program evaluation, and addictions. But she had great fun along the way.

Wild orchids rank high among Michelle’s many enthusiasms. She also loves traveling with her tropical horticulturist husband Tim, hiking, dogs, good books, and good food partaken in the company of friends. Michelle and Tim go regularly to the Dordogne in southwest France to photograph and chart wild orchids. Her mystery novels draw their inspiration from the flora, food, and remarkable people of that part of the world.

Deadly Slipper: A Novel of Death in the Dordogne par Michelle Wan

Loved both the fascinating Dordogne landscape and the hunts for rare and beautiful Orchids...
I read Deadly Slipper for those and wish there had been photographs and no murder!

I.O.U. Dead: A Keno Kalder Mystery (Rapid Reads) par Michelle Wan

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.

I received this book as a giveaway through Librarything Early Reviewers. Keno Kalder is a young bill collector who suddenly finds himself in way over his head when he tries to collect from the wrong skip. A really quick, fun read and a character that I look forward to reading more of in the future.

I.O.U. Dead: A Keno Kalder Mystery (Rapid Reads) par Michelle Wan

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.

This was an exciting, fast-paced crime story that was accessible for new readers. The characters were believable and in some cases, relatable. The plots moved along at a steady pace, without feeling too rushed. I look forward to more books featuring Keno.

I.O.U. Dead: A Keno Kalder Mystery (Rapid Reads) par Michelle Wan

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.

A quick read about Keno who is a rent collector who runs into a serial killer. Keno and his partner, Jacob, try to profit from this by attempting to blackmail the killer instead of turning him into the police. Along the way they have to, not only protect themselves, but also their families and loved ones. They solve the crime and decide to start their own crime solving company including Keno's girlfriend.
