A Ghostwriter's Guide to Murder

Charming yet wickedly imaginative mystery ghostwriter Maeve Gardner finds herself at the center of a murder investigation with more twists and turns than any story she’s ever written.

Maeve kills people for a living — as the ghostwriter for the long-running Simon Hill mysteries — but she dreams of writing something under her own name. Life aboard her colourful houseboat on London’s waterways seems idyllic, until her cheating ex-boyfriend turns up floating facedown in the canal. Arrested by the police, Maeve is drawn into a world of missing money, violent thugs and an investigation that may reveal more than she ever bargained for.

With the help of friends from the river—India, owner of a floating bookshop; Paul, a pub landlord; and Ash, Maeve’s quiet but secret-keeping neighbour—Maeve must navigate danger and deception before the killer strikes again.

“Charming yet wickedly imaginative … perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Richard Osman.” — Barnes & Noble

“One of those mysteries so stuffed with charm you half-wish the characters could get to potter around their lives without a crime to derail them.” — Midwest Book Review
