One dead body. Seven mystery writers. And they all know how to get away with murder. In this wickedly clever whodunit, the only thing more dangerous than the setting . . . is the guest list-from the bestselling author of Save the Cat! Writes a Novel.
If you want to write a murder, you have to set it in the right location-like an old, converted monastery with an ominous past, hidden deep in the mountains. Then, you have to invite the right people-like a group of mystery writers attending a prestigious mystery-writing conference.
Of course, someone should show up uninvited-like the disgraced literary agent accused of stealing from his top client. Everyone in the story must be hiding something so they can all become suspects when someone ends up dead. That's when they'll turn on each other, digging into the past to uncover dark truths-like a book canceled on the eve of publication, two million dollars in missing royalties, and an obsessive fan with a hidden agenda.
But don't forget to trap everyone there-a landslide should do the trick-so they can't escape when more people turn up dead. . . .
Welcome to the perfect murder. Nothing will go wrong. Because if anyone can get away with murder, it's a writer. Jessica Brody is the author of the #1 bestselling novel-writing guides Save the Cat! Writes a Novel and Save the Cat! Writes a Young Adult Novel as well as several books based on popular Disney franchises like Descendants and LEGO Disney Princess. She has also written more than twenty novels for teens, tweens, and adults including The Geography of Lost Things, The Chaos of Standing Still, Amelia Gray Is Almost Okay, A Week of Mondays, 52 Reasons to Hate My Father, the Unremembered trilogy, and the System Divine trilogy, which is a sci-fi reimagining of Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, co-written with Joanne Rendell. Jessica's books have been translated and published in over twenty languages and several have been optioned for film and television. She's the founder of the Writing Mastery Academy and lives with her husband and three dogs near Portland, Oregon. The only thing harder than writing the perfect plot twist . . . is surviving it.
