"A treat....Lovesey's restraint, wit, and charming cast ensure him a place in the winners' circle."—Entertainment Weekly

Van driver Bob Naylor, a jingle writer, joins the Chichester Writer’s Circle fearing that he will be shunned by literary snobs. Instead, he finds himself plunged into the midst of a circle of murder victims and murder suspects—including himself. The other members, enthusiastic but not necessarily talented, come from all walks of life and write all sorts of things: fantasy, household hints, even torrid romances, but there seems to be no common thread to tie the arson victims together. Inspector Henrietta Mallin, Peter Diamond’s partner from The House Sitter, is the investigator in charge of the case and with Bob’s help—and despite other would-be sleuths’ hindrance—she discovers the motive for the serial murders and the identifies the killer.

Synopsis:

Will writers really kill to be published?

Ken, December 15, 2009 (view all comments by Ken)
Score another hard-to-put-down murder mystery hit for British author Peter Lovesey. The circle of suspects consists of the members of a writers' group, the victim a sleazy publisher - a perfect target for a group of frustrated unpublished writers, and a perfect contained group of potential murderers. There is little-to-no-chance of figuring out the solution - none at all in my case - until the author reveals it in the final pages.
