A Ghostwriter’s Guide to Murder: A Novel

Maeve is an expert at killing people. It comes with the job. As a ghostwriter, she finds herself plotting out murder on repeat, which isn’t a great alibi when a body is found outside her houseboat. When it’s identified as her ex-boyfriend, she becomes the number one suspect. The further she digs into the secrets, the more she discovers how little she knew him. Her only hope lies with her close friends, who believe in her innocence. But can they prove it before she’s arrested?

The setting is unique and adds a distinct element to the mystery, with its water and the quaint community that surrounds Maeve. The threads come together for a satisfying conclusion, and keep you engaged and entertained from beginning to end. The structure is fascinating as it veers from general mysteries, which typically follow only the protagonist, and incorporates the perspectives of her friends as they investigate on her behalf. This gives you a real sense of community and allows you to get to know each of the characters more fully. Perfect for every mystery lover’s shelf, A Ghostwriter’s Guide to Murder takes you along for a charming ride as you join Maeve and her friends in investigating the seedy double life of her ex.
