When a mystery writer cries bloody murder, everyone blames her overactive imagination . . .

Thriller scribe Sophie Katz is as hard-boiled as a woman who drinks Grande Caramel Brownie Frappuccinos can be. So Sophie knows it's not paranoia or post-divorce, living-alone-again jitters, when she becomes convinced that a crazed reader is sneaking into her apartment to reenact scenes from her books. The police, however, can't tell a good plot from an unmarked grave.

When a filmmaker friend is brutally murdered in the manner of a death scene in one of his movies, Sophie becomes convinced that a copycat killer is on the loose -- and that she's the next target. If she doesn't solve the mystery, her own bestseller will spell out her doom. Cursing her grisly imagination (why, oh, why did she have to pick the ax?), Sophie engages in some real-life gumshoe tactics. The man who swoops in to save her in dark alleys is mysterious new love interest Anatoly Darinsky. Of course, if this were fiction, Anatoly would be her prime suspect . . .

Happy Birthday, enjoy the book (via BookObsessed Birtday 2013 Exchange)

That's my drink! I love a double latte! Thank you so much.

A good fun, quick read. I liked the characters but felt so sorry for Mr Katz being shut in alone so much! I didn't guess who the murderer was until near the end which was a definite plus for me.

Adding to the cosy mysteries bookbox organised by Tanamo.

Received in the Cosy Mystery bookbox now it's back home.

Slow going at first but picked up pace and the ending was good and I didn't guess the perp till the latter part of the book.

Going into Plum's cosy mystery book box

The book box has done its rounds & is now home with me. Looks like it could be a Stephanie Plum style-tale, will have to read it & see ;-)

Oh I'm so sorry, I really don't like this! I don't know what it is that rubbed me up the wrong way but I gave up after 2 chapters. I'll hang onto to it & maybe add to a bookbox at some point, hopefully it's next reader will be more appreciative of it.....

Added to Cfreckle's Random Bookbox....hope it finds a reader who will enjoy it :o)

Released as part of the D FOR DECEMBER CHALLENGE (#2)
