Twenty-six-year-old Emily Castles is out of work...again. So when famous
romance author Morgana Blakely offers her a job helping out at a
conference in London, Emily accepts. Just as eagerly, American blogger
Winnie Kraster accepts an invitation from Morgana to attend as a guest,
not realizing she has, in effect, accepted an invitation to die.
As a cast of oddball characters assembles at the conference hotel,
grievances, differences, and secrets begin to emerge. When Winnie goes
missing, and then is found murdered nearby, Emily begins to suspect that
someone involved with the conference is responsible. Could it be one of
the organizers, one of the authors, a member of the hotel staff, or even
the supplier of the chocolates for the conference gift bags? Emily teams
up with guest speaker and eccentric philosophy professor Dr. Muriel to
find out.
Offbeat and engaging, this entertaining comic mystery is the first
full-length novel featuring amateur British sleuth Emily Castles.
