C. A. Larmer

No one bats an eyelid when a bag lady washes up on the shores of Sydney, minus five fingers and decked out in designer couture; nor is anyone too perturbed when socialite Beatrice Musgrave plunges to her death soon after. No one, that is, except ghostwriter and Merlot-lover Roxy Parker. She's been writing Beattie's 'autobiography' and has just stumbled on a secret that's worth killing for.

A Ghostwriter Mystery

Killer Twist

Bored with her stodgy old book club, Alicia Finlay decides to start a new one-dedicated to her favourite crime writer Agatha Christie. And so she gathers seven quirky members together, including dashing Dr Anders, a poisons expert, socialite Barbara Parlour, librarian Missy (as ditzy as Miss Marple and just as sharp) and fashionistas Claire and Perry who both bear an eerie resemblance to Hercule Poirot. As the new club sip cups of Darjeeling and happily dissect Evil Under the Sun, little do they know they're about to stumble upon a real-life mystery of their own. Barbara suddenly vanishes and her husband seems oddly unperturbed. When he shows up murdered soon after, the group decide to do as the meddling Miss Marple would do, and investigate. So begins a real-life mystery adventure for the Agatha Christie Book Club (ACBC), a motley collection of amateur sleuths who use Christie as their guide. Following in the footsteps of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, the group must sort the clues from the red herrings to solve the murder of Arthur Parlour and the mystery of his missing wife. In this fun, fast-paced adventure, C.A. Larmer shows us, yet again, why she's one of the best-selling contemporary cozy crime writers out there today.

Murder on the Orient (SS)

When a dying man utters Roxy Parker's name with his final, gasping breath, the gutsy ghostwriter is thrown into the middle of her most baffling-and brutal-murder mystery yet. Why would a man Roxy barely knows call out her name on his deathbed? What did he give her that holds the key to his murder? And is it linked to a mysterious burglar who is hot on Roxy's trail? Thus begins the next breathtaking adventure in the Ghostwriter Mystery series. In this instalment, Roxy is hired by the dead man's distraught daughter to find a missing black and white photograph. It's an image from the 1970s and looks innocent enough but behind the smiles of the six people in the photo, hides a secret so chilling, even Roxy Parker will be caught off guard. As our sassy, merlot-swilling heroine races to find the picture before the burglar beats her to it, she quickly discovers that two of the photographed are now dead and there are more corpses to come. In C.A. Larmer's most confounding mystery to date, it's not just about murder, it's about cold-blooded revenge.
