At the time of writing, Clues back-issues were only available to 2004. However, I did find a list of abstracts (linked to from here), in which this article is described as follows:

Of Love and Death: Murder and Mayhem Meet the Romance
Diane M. Calhoun-French
Clues 21.1 (2000 Sp/S) pp. 1–16
Orania Papazoglou (1951–), Elizabeth Peters (Barbara Mertz, 1927–), Joan Hess (1949–), Robert Barnard
(1936–), Natasha Cooper (1951–), Susan Rogers Cooper (1947–), and Carole Nelson Douglas (1944–) use
the medium of the romance genre for their mystery novels to explore love, sex, and romance. Also, they
comment on the characteristics of the romance genre and the relationship of the romance genre (and
sometimes other genres) to the literary world.
