Fiction Can be Murder

There's nothing more frightening to a mystery writer than having a crime committed in the exact way it does in the manuscript of your latest book. Worse yet, the victim is your agent. In Fiction Can Be Murder by Becky Clark. that's what happens to Charlemagne (Chalee) Russo.

So far the only people who have read the book are the dead agent, Charlee's critique group and her boyfriend. Who among them would kill the super aggressive agent Melinda Walker? The police think it is Charlee - she knows it's not.

Everyone knows Charlee has been having royalty issues and her late agent had been dragging her feet about checking with the publisher. Once the police learn this, they are convinced this was Charlee's motive for murdering Melinda.

Feeling guilty, Charlee takes it upon herself to quiz the various
members of her writers group to learn who could have had a motive to kill Melinda. She tries to get inside information from her brother who is a copy, but a whisper campaign against him is causing people to think he is a dirty cop. This makes him unable to glean any information about the case so she is pretty much on her own.

Charlee has a vivid imagination as many mystery writer do, but sometimes that imagination bumps up against reality and causes problems for her.

Nothing like a Mystery Writer's Mystery to make you laugh out loud. Looking forward to book #2.
