Murder to Music includes Charlotte's story, "The Family Rose"
From Booklist:
"...collection of mystery stories in which music plays a key role...Another particularly enjoyable story is "The Family Rose," in which country singer Maybelle desperately wants to inherit her famous parent Momma Rose's celebrated guitar. Ironically her own death sentence is passed when that happens. Good fun."
Blood on Their Hands includes Charlotte's story "Any Old Mother"
From Publisher's Weekly:
"Mystery Writers of America has produced some outstanding anthologies...there are a few diamonds on display...Charlotte Hinger's "Any Old Mother," about a woman scamming mothers who gave up a child for adoption, is a crafty exercise in consequences."
