Publisher's Synopsis
When widower Bob Naylor is encouraged by his daughter to join his local writing circle, he's apprehensive. He expects to meet people with whom he has nothing in common. And whilst he prepared himself for ambitious, wannabe authors, he didn't anticipate murder...The death of publisher Edgar Blacker propels Bob straight into a murder mystery. Blacker had only recently addressed the circle and most of the members had shown him their work - now most of them are under suspicion. Because Bob is the only writer who had not met the dead man, he's persuaded by some other members of the group to help with an unofficial investigation. Some go one step further, writing an online, blow-by-blow account of the case...For real-life detective Henrietta Mallin, these amateur sleuths muddy the waters. But she stands for no nonsense as she unravels the sinister secret of the circle.
