From USA Today bestselling author Beth Prentice comes a brand new series filled with humor, romance, and deadly deceptions...
A writing retreat. A famous author. A deadly fall.
Aspiring novelist Aubrey Jackson never expected her big break to be wrapped in crime scene tape. Invited to an exclusive writer’s retreat hosted by the legendary author Willow Fox, Aubrey was excited to sharpen her plot twists and finally finish her first book. But when Willow is found dead—pushed from a third story window—the peaceful getaway turns into a real-life investigation.
With a retreat full of suspects, and the police pointing the finger at one of her best friends, Aubrey’s instincts kick in. After all, she’s read enough murder mysteries to know this wasn’t an accident! So with her writer buddies, Ellie and Spencer, by her side, she sets out to find a killer!
Only problem? The sharp detective with gorgeous eyes and enough muscles to be on a magazine cover, who has a frustrating determination to arrest the wrong person.
Can Aubrey uncover the truth before the killer writes her off for good? Or will her first big break end in a plot twist she never saw coming?
And don't forget to pick up Aubrey Jackson's debut novella, Murder for Shore! (Summary via Goodreads)
The Write Way to Die is the first book in the Murder By the Book Mystery series by Beth Prentice and it has a lot to love .... a story that grabs you instantly, a cast of strong characters, one stronger than the other as they are a murderer, a great setting for this first of hopefully many in the series, a story within a story, plus much more !!!
In The Write Way to Die main character Aubrey is going on a weekend writing retreat with her best friend, Elle and another good friend Spencer. Another good friend of Aubrey and Elle's is co-hosting the event with a popular author that they cannot wait to spend time with and learn from .... unfortunately Willow, the author, is found dead outside and Aubrey is the one to find her !!!
It is soon ruled murder as she was pushed from her third floor room window. And with the retreat consisting of authors and individuals that want to be authors, everyone is talking and they all have their own ideas. Except one of them is most likely the murderer so .....
Aubrey is there to work on the story that she is writing, a cozy mystery, so when she can't focus on her writing she wonders about Willow's murder and cannot help but start to do her own investigating. And Elle and Spencer are just as bad and go along with it all. Even though Aubrey gets in too deep and the handsome detective is constantly telling her to stop !!
Prentice has a great foundation with this first book in this series. There is so much to love as I stated already. And the way that she ends this story, you know you are in for it all and be waiting for the next book ... I know I will be.
