Last Writes

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 LanguageThis 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. 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.
