This is a fresh and witty new voice in detective fiction. DS Alice Washington is a cynical and sardonic observer and commenter and this book made me laugh out loud multiple times. I loved her character and the cast of people around her.

The police procedural element felt authentic and detailed so it was no surprise to read that the author has worked with the police service.

I enjoyed the twisty plot and the way the cliffhangers and lingering questions were played out. This is an accomplished debut and I'm looking forward to more in the series.

She wrote a killer story. Now it's coming true... In the small village of Fortbridge, it's hard to keep a secret. But bestselling crime writer Camilla Harton-Gray is faced with a twist she couldn't see coming: her very own stalker, whose behavior seems to take a leaf out of Camilla's own novels! Good book! This book had suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, a good who done it and a few crazy twists and turns! The story was interesting, it wasn't one of my top favorite, for some reason I just couldn’t get into it?! but still worth reading! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
