A Plot to Die for

In this modern homage to Agatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun, sassy ghostwriter Roxy Parker finds herself on a remote island retreat with a collection of fabulously wealthy guests, shifty locals and biased police officers-all of whom she must rely on to help solve the mystery of who killed resort owner Abigail Lilton.Abi has just been murdered and buried in a plot on the side of the beach-an exact replica of a macabre local burial tradition. Horrified, Roxy doesn't know where to turn, but Abi's daughter Helen is pointing the finger firmly in the direction of the hotel staff and guests. Each has a secret worth killing for.As the cocktail-sipping writer attempts to piece that fatal morning together she encounters knife-wielding villagers, ghoulish local traditions and an island paradise where the ghosts of past mistakes still linger behind every coconut tree. With a cracking pace, tropical setting and eclectic cast of characters, this mystery will have you scratching your head until the final, Hercule Poirot-style conclusion.And it will make you look twice at your fellow guests next time you take that innocent island holiday... Christina (C.A.) Larmer tried writing a romance at the age of 13 but pretty soon she'd slaughtered the hero and planted it on the heroine. It was the beginning of a beautiful love affair that has now resulted in four crime series, including the Murder Mystery Book Club, the Sleuths of Last Resort, the Ghostwriter mysteries, the Posthumous Mystery series, a domestic suspense novel, and a stand-alone mystery masquerading as a family saga (she's fooling nobody).Born and bred in Papua New Guinea, Christina has lived and worked around the world from New York and Los Angeles to London and Sydney. A journalist, editor, teacher and mentor, she now runs an indie publishing business from the east coast of Australia, where she lives with her musician husband, two sons, a devilish 'Bluey' and countless koalas and snakes, none of which come close to the villains in her books. Well, maybe just the Bluey...Sign up for news, views, discounts and giveaways: calarmer.comGet in touch: christina@calarmer.com As a professional ghostwriter, Roxy Parker digs deep into other people's lives to tell their stories for them.
