Crime and Publishing

The pen is deadlier than the sword, especially when it's filled with poison.

Mina Wilde is thrilled to be invited to a prestigious writers' retreat at Meddleworth House. Heathcliff, Morrie, and Quoth decide to come along to keep her company and indulge in some of the estate's activities.

Mina is excited to get feedback on her first novel, but her dreams of writing stardom are shattered when the other writers tear her work to pieces. A little criticism never hurt anyone, right? Wrong.

Their picturesque country holiday soon turns deadly when a violent storm closes in. As the writers gather around the fire to critique each other's work, the power goes out. When the lights come back on, they discover one of them has been murdered by his own pen!

The only people who could have committed this crime were the other writers, and with no way in or out of the manor house, Mina throws herself into solving this locked room mystery. But as she eliminates her suspects, she must face a terrifying truth.

There are three other people who could have committed the murder—her boyfriends. How far will Morrie, Quoth, and Heathcliff go to save Mina's literary reputation?

Contains mature themes.
