MYSTERY/THRILLER MONDAY FEATURE: LAST WRITES by CA LARMER
Fancy a quick jaunt down under, but don't have the time or money? Take a staycation instead with the third installment in C.A. Larmer's Ghostwriter Mystery series: LAST WRITES featuring Larmer's likable amateur sleuth.
Roxy Parker is back in this fun and entertaining murder mystery, LAST WRITES. The angsty protagonist is a well-developed character faced with all the challenges of a thirty-something woman trying not only to make a living, but have a life! A ghostwriter living in Sydney, with a mother nearby who gives her plenty of advice, it's not all that easy. She's got trouble with men and money, although she's not down and out by any stretch of the imagination on either front.
When Australia's celebrated writers start dying her troubles get a whole lot worse as Roxy is swept up in the drama. Well-drawn, quirky supporting characters, like Oliver her mouthy agent who is quite free in his use of expletives, add interest to the storytelling as the mystery unfolds. The bodies keep coming, too.
When a friend is implicated in the murders, Roxy is pulled deeper into the chaos and suspense. She takes matters into her own hands trying to figure out whodunit and clear her friend's name. All in all a satisfying mystery in a slightly exotic setting for those of us who live in the U.S.
BOOK BLURB FROM C.A. LARMER:
It's been a bad week for successful writers. A science-fiction author has been found dead, violently slashed with an ‘X’, a gardening guru bludgeoned with his own shears, and an erotic novelist poisoned by a juicy, red apple. All the evidence is pointing firmly at Oliver Horowitz, Roxy Parker's beloved agent, but the ghostwriter believes he's being framed.
With the help of alluring newcomer, investigative reporter David Lone, Roxy sets off on a quest to prove Oliver's innocence and track down the killer before another author meets their final sentence...
The third book in the best-selling Ghostwriter Mystery series sees the return of Roxy’s quirky friends and family including brooding photographer Max Farrell (how will he handle Roxy’s new love interest?), meddling mother, Lorraine, Scottish softie Lockie, and supercop Gilda Maltin. We also meet Max's cool sister Caroline and join Roxy on a nail-biting road trip up the north coast of Australia, the killer hot on her trail!
In C.A. Larmer's fifth book, and the third in the popular Ghostwriter Mystery series, we see yet again why Larmer is fast becoming Australia's number one cozy crime writer. There's suspense, humor, fashion and fun, not to mention a plot that will keep you on the edge of your manicured toes!
A Word of Caution About the Language
This story is set in Australia so you may come across some unusual colloquialisms and cursing. Both are an everyday part of our vernacular but I apologise for any confusion or offence; it is not intended.
