	The novel was published by Simon & Schuster in 1944, and Rice immediately started to try and find a movie producer to take on the story for a sum of $50,000. However, after no sales all through 1944, Rice conceded to 20th Century Fox’s offer of $20,000 for the adaptation of "Home Sweet Homicide". This sale earned Rice a spot on the January 28th, 1946 cover of "Time Magazine". After a 50 year spell of dormancy out of print, "Home Sweet Homicide" began to gain popularity again with Jeffrey Marks’s 2001 biography of Craig Rice, "Who Was That Lady".
