Why haven't I read this book earlier?!
I fell blindly and unconditionally in love with Kit! He seems to be struggling with his mid-life crisis big time: his long-term relationship has just ended, his career is going downhill, he is concerned about his health, he feels awfully old and he complains a lot about all and everything.

Another Josh Lanyon winner--a fast paced mystery with witty characters--on to the second book

This is the first book of Josh Lanyon's I have read and I look forward to reading more, especially in this series. I didn't expect so much humor and found myself laughing out loud several times.
Kit Holmes is a successful writer whose successful series of cozy mysteries has lost their appeal. His literary agent twists his arm into attending a writer's conference in a remote forest retreat so that he can pitch new ideas to his irascible editor in a last-ditch effort to revive his career.

The more I read, the more I find that Josh Lanyon's works are synonymous with quality. This a great example.

"Kit" leaves his secluded life to spend a weekend with a group of writers that he doesn't know and would like to go on not knowing.
