- Synopsis
- A freelance editor starts a new life in the Catskill Mountains—but someone is trying to delete her . . . &“Entertaining . . . Cozy fans will be pleased.&” —Publishers Weekly After splurging to buy her childhood home in the Catskills, recently widowed Mikki Lincoln emerges from retirement as a freelance editor. But it&’s not long before Mikki realizes that the village of Lenape Hollow isn&’t the thriving tourist destination it was decades ago. Not with a murderer on the loose . . . When perky novice writer Tiffany Scott knocks at her door holding a towering manuscript, Mikki expects another debut novel plagued by typos and sloppy prose. Instead, she finds a murder mystery ripped from the headlines of Lenape Hollow&’s not-too-distant past. The opening scene is a graphic page-turner, but it sends a real chill down Mikki&’s spine after the young author turns up dead just like the victim in her story . . . Mikki refuses to believe that Tiffany&’s death was accidental, and suspicions of foul play solidify as she uncovers a strange inconsistency in the manuscript and a possible motive in the notes. As she gets closer to cracking the case, only one person takes Mikki&’s investigation seriously—the cunning killer who will do anything to make this chapter of her life come to a very abrupt ending . . . &“The signature cozy style of Dunnett&’s Liss MacCrimmon series translates easily to this editorially focused new venture.&” —Kirkus &“Whoever thought that being an editor could be hazardous to your life? The final reveal at the end was perfection.&” —I Am, Indeed
