READ AND BURIED
An Ashton Corner Book Club Mystery
BY ERIKA CHASE
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Hosting an award-winning novelist is quite a Christmas
coup for the Ashton Corners Mystery Readers and Cheese Straw
Society. But when he’s murdered in Lizzie
Turner’s house, she’s got a holiday homicide on
her hands ...
For their very first guest author event, most of the book club members can’t wait to pull out all the stops in Southern hospitality. But for Lizzie, Derek Alton is nothing but trouble—from his massive ego to his smarmy moves. When he’s found murdered in her living room, it seems someone decided that this womanizing writer would be better off dead than read.
After suspicion falls on Lizzie’s friend, she and her fellow book club members discover that Derek wasn’t who he pretended to be. Cracking this case means going up against Lizzie’s boyfriend, police chief Mark Dreyfus, and unearthing a novel’s worth of nasty secrets. And as they get closer to uncovering Derek’s scandalous final manuscript, someone hiding in plain sight is out to write finis to Lizzie’s sleuthing for good...
