Margot Kinberg is a mystery author and Associate Professor. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Kinberg graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, then moved to Philadelphia, which Kinberg still considers home.

Show Them the Master Sorcerer You Are*

[image error]As this is posted, it’s 61 years since the première of the TV series Perry Mason, based, of course, on the novels by Erle Stanley Gardner. One of the tropes made famous in that series is the courtroom surprise. In more than one episode, Mason produces a surprise witness, or piece of evidence. Those things are not quite as apparent in the books, although I admit I’ve not read them a...

Margot’s Writing

B-Very Flat (Mystery & Thrillers)

1 chapters — updated May 13, 2015 06:30PM

Description: Is anyone really safe? Not necessarily. At nineteen years old, Serena Brinkman, an undergraduate violin major at Tilton University, seems to have a very secure future; she's got good looks, money, people who love her, and rare musical talent. She's also got a coveted Amati violin, a musical rival, friends whose secrets she knows, and an obsessed fan. Serena's dreams are shattered when she suddenly dies on the night of a major music competition. Serena's partner, sure that her death was not an accident, asks for help from Dr. Joel Williams of Tilton's Department of Criminal Justice. Williams, a former detective, becomes convinced that Serena was murdered, when he learns how unsafe her world really was. As he works with the Tilton Police Department to uncover the truth, Williams finds that Serena's looks, money, and talent, far from securing her future, made her a target.
