Synopsis: Kate Jasper, Marin County, California&’s own organically grown amateur sleuth, returns in this ninth mystery in the series.Kate and her sweetie visit Ivan Nakagawa&’s bookstore for an author signing in Death Hits the Fan. The event features three authors and only a few more audience members, but the small audience does not stop Yvette Cassell from reading on and on as fellow author S. X. (Shayla) Greenfree&’s eyelids droop and she slumps forward. Kate is shocked by Shayla&’s novel approach to boredom. But it turns out that Shayla is not just dozing, she is dead. Is the murderer&’s unique signature the bracelet that Shayla snapped on before falling over? The police read an accusation into Shayla&’s last utterance of &“Kate, I . . . &” before Shayla slumped. But Kate did not even know Shayla. Or did she? The handwriting is on the wall. Can Kate read it before the murderer plots a sequel?
