Book Synopsis

Who knew being a writer for hire could be so dramatic? Join Veronica in her fourth adventure as writer-turned sleuth!


When writer for hire Veronica Blackstone is asked to write the copy for The Friends of Hyde Park''s annual house and garden tour, she never expects to get involved in a violent death. But that''s exactly what happens when famous author Landon Donte is found dead in his study during a dinner to highlight the tour.

With his career on the wane, and apparently having deleted his last manuscript, it looks as though Landon committed suicide. But Veronica isn''t so sure. She discovers that left-handed Landon was killed by someone right-handed and becomes convinced someone murdered him.

It''s true that Landon had many enemies: his rival and neighbor, bestselling romance author RL Lincoln; his put-upon assistant, Brad; even his own daughter! But are any of them capable of murder? Veronica is determined to uncover the truth . . .
