À propos de cet e-book
From the author of Herring on the Nile, a fellow novelist's plea for help plunges a mid-list mystery writer and his agent into a murder investigation.
"You don't believe me, do you?" asked Henry. "That I might have killed somebody." Well, really. The genuine murderer—the real pro—tends to keep track of that sort of thing. And besides, there is no dead body to speak of. Understandably, Ethelred, our struggling mystery writer, is reluctant to help his colleague figure out whether or not he killed someone on New Year's Eve. But then his agent, the chocolate-chomping Elsie, points out that Henry is in a position to write a good review of Ethelred's work, and good reviews are worth going to a little bit of trouble for.
Peppered throughout with Amazon reader reviews, which add to the fun, and told from both Ethelred and Elsie's points of view, the book is a funny, insightful commentary on literary fame, as well as a solid mystery.
