Book 6 of 7: A Ghostwriter Mystery

In the latest GHOSTWRITER MYSTERY, Roxy is back with a sizzling murder and a soft spot for a country boy with big doe eyes. It's another contemporary mystery from the Amazon bestselling author.

In this stand-alone story, ghostwriter Roxy Parker heads to small-town Byron Bay to write the life story of rock legend Jed Moody. She may be his biggest fan, but the sexy Mick Jagger-lookalike has scores of enemies, so when he is electrocuted on stage, the amateur sleuth can’t help looking their way. Was Jed murdered by a jilted lover? His jealous wife? An embittered band member? Or is it the hot newcomer who’s caught Roxy’s eye, the one with the giant chip and the smart sheepdog?

Determined to prove his innocence, Roxy enlists the help of best friend Detective Gilda Maltin. The problem is, Gilda becomes convinced that Roxy has fallen for a cold-blooded killer.

This is a fun, fast-paced adventure for those looking for a great read and a modern, laugh-out-loud mystery.
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: "This book is set in Australia so it contains some adult language and Australian slang."

Review

"This is such a great series! Ms Larmer has created such a delightful heroine in Roxy - part Hercule Poirot, part Angelina Jolie, part Bridget Jones. Clever and self aware. Down to earth and a magnet for trouble. And someone you would want to just hang out with. A Note Before Dying continues the twists and kep me engaged from beginning to end. A fantastic read." Debra Townsend @Amazon

"I have read all of the Ghostwriter series and loved them all. The lead character is a lot of fun to read about and the friends she has also. I will read all of C.A. Larmer's future books." Jimmykat @Amazon

"This book had me hooked right from the beginning. Roxy is great and I like her friend Gilda too. The setting was interesting and the characters were colorful and well developed. Lots of suspense, mystery and a nice bit of romance to boot. The Aussie idioms were fun and a really nice touch for those of us who live elsewhere. This is the first book I've read by C.A. Larmer, but you can be sure it won't be the last." Jane Firebaugh @Amazon

Though Roxy Parker had only been back in Sydney for a week, she was off to Byron Bay on the NSW coast to interview rock legend Jed Moody for an upcoming story on his life. But Roxy was a little bemused by the people she met – the publicist, the wife, the other band members – all were a little strange. Then there was Jed. Rude, arrogant and full of himself, Roxy wondered what she’d let herself in for…

Roxy hadn’t had a chance to interview Jed when he was electrocuted on stage in front of some of his fans. There were plenty who didn’t like the aging rocker – so was it an accident, or was it murder? The finger was pointing toward a man with a grudge; a man who had hated Jed. When Roxy called her detective friend, Gilda Maltin of Sydney, she headed for Byron to help. But was Roxy in danger? It seemed murder followed her around…

A Note Before Dying is the 6th in the Ghostwriter Mystery series and another fun, entertaining cosy mystery which I thoroughly enjoyed. A few laugh out loud moments, plenty of twists and a MC with lots of pizazz, A Note Before Dying is another one I recommend highly.

Enjoyable Read

This was the first book in the Ghostwriter Series that I have read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author’s descriptive style takes you right into the Australian setting with all its quirks and charm. The main character, Roxy, is smart yet vulnerable, and I found myself rooting for her from the start.

The mystery revolves around an aging pop star and the trouble he leaves in his wake. Roxy pushes authorities to seek justice. The pieces of the puzzle are well mixed, and I was carried through the story trying to put them in place along with the characters. Can't wait to see what happens to Roxy next!

A Winner from Beginning to End!

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2016

This is a well-written, perfectly-paced murder mystery with realistic characters. Even though it's number six in the ghostwriter series, I had no trouble reading it as a stand-alone. As a Midwesterner, I loved the Aussie setting and some of the language differences. Ms. Larmer brought Roxy and the whole cast of characters to life for me. If you are looking for a story that will keep you engaged from start to satisfying end, look no further! Five stars all the way!

I enjoyed the previous books, but this one it's too "whiney" for my taste. I tried to stick with it until the end, but found myself rolling my eyes often at Roxy's childhood behavior. In this book she sounds and acts like a teenanger. It might have worked for some but personally, I would give it a pass.
