Mafia Mystery Slays Critics



May 2011 -  MU Alumni, Author S.R.Claridge does it again with her newest release, book two in the Just Call Me Angel mystery series, TRAITORS AMONG US.


Just Call Me Angel is a Mafia mystery series (by S.R.Claridge and Vanilla Heart Publishing) set in present day Chicago.  What makes it different from all the rest is not only that it centers on a heroine who brings a feminine perspective to an otherwise masculine Mafia world; but that the heroine is an MU Alumni, graduating from Journalism school, who loves Shakespeare’s Pizza.  In book one, TETTERBAUM’S TRUTH, the heroine discovers her true identity and in book two, TRAITORS AMONG US, she steps into her role as head of a Chicago Mob family.  Both books have notable Mizzou and Columbia references and Shakespeare’s Pizza is mentioned several times thoughout.  S.R.Claridge says she has an affinity for her alma-mater and wants to help promote the University and Columbia any way she can.

Amazon reviews hail the Just Call Me Angel series as a “riveting story that grabs the reader on page one and captivates him all the way through.” 

S.R.Claridge, who’s writing style has been described as a cross between the humor of Janet Evanovich and the suspense of Mary Higgins Clark, smiles and says, “I’m honored to be compared to two of my very favorite authors.” 

All S.R.Claridge’s novels are available in ebook and print format at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords, as well as libraries and independent bookstores.  Her books may also be requested and ordered through any public library and bookstore nationwide.
