Hang on to your hats, this is quite the ride. Three writers—Kat De Noir (writer of erotica), Cassie Pringle (a Southern mom and writer of multiple cozies), and Emma Endicott (uptight New England author of historical fiction)—meet up at Bouchercon, the leading crime writers’ conference. The three women have lots in common: same editor and same obsession with the leading literary hot shot, Brett Saffron Presley (BSP). BSP is currently living on a remote island off the Hebrides, basically as a recluse, and the three women head off to the island to work on their joint novel. Or is that really their intent? Turns out that they each know BSP, and loathe him equally—for pretty much the same reasons—and BSP-stalking takes precedence over any writing. Castle Kinloch, an over-the-top Gothic castle full of hidden passages, provides the background, while the sordid history of a 19th-century laird lends a contemporary creepiness. Enjoy plenty of humor among the women and the native Scots, lots of insider jokes about the publishing industry, and a great big helping of Scottish Romance. Williams, Willig, and White have delivered one fabulous ride that’s sure to leave readers hungry for more.
