Come Home, Love Dad [Paperback]

"COME HOME. LOVE, DAD is written with the causal sweetness of unpremeditated love, and is therefore the more compelling." -- Dorothy Salisbury Davis, Author, Awarded Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America

"How refreshing to read a memoir by a daughter who adored her father, and a father who deserved to be!" -- Kathryn Kennison, Director, Magna cum Murder

"There's something akin to James Thurber about this... It's a funny, uplifting, honest book that I shall read and re-read..." -- Peter Lovesey, Recipient of the Crime Writers' Association Diamond Dagger Lifetime Achievement Award

COME HOME. LOVE,DAD combines the heart-warming and sometimes heart-breaking story of an eccentric and loving man with excerpts from letters that he wrote to his daughter, Edgar Award nominated crime novelist, Shelly Reuben. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll love this book.

Shelly Reuben is the author of Edgar award nominated JULIAN SOLO, and the arson-themed crime novels, ORIGIN AND CAUSE and SPENT MATCHES. COME HOME. LOVE, DAD is her first work of non-fiction. In real life, she is a private detective, licensed in both New York and New Jersey. She received her on-the-job training at fire scenes with her husband, a former supervising fire marshal for New York City, and has been investigating fires and arsons for over twenty years.

COME HOME. LOVE, DAD is an affectionate memoir of her father, a remarkable and endearing man.

Miss Reuben is currently working on a new crime novel with an arson theme.
