Years ago, Presley purchased the castle as a showpiece for his brand and to lure paying guests with a taste for writerly glamour. Now it seems, the castle has done him in...or, possibly, one of the castle’s guests has. Detective Chief Inspector Euan McIntosh, a local with no love for literary Americans, finds himself with the unenviable task of extracting statements from three American lady novelists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe prime suspects are Kat de Noir, a slinky erotica writer; Cassie Pringle, a Southern mom of six juggling multiple cozy mystery series; and Emma Endicott, a New England blue blood and author of critically acclaimed historical fiction. The women claim to be best friends writing a book together, but the authors’ stories about how they know Brett Saffron Presley don’t quite line up, and the detective is getting increasingly suspicious. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy did the authors really come to Castle Kinloch And what really happened the night of the great Kinloch ceilidh, when Brett Saffron Presley skipped the folk dancing for a rendezvous with death \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crafty locked-room mystery, a pointed satire about the literary world, and a tale of unexpected friendship and romance—this novel has it all, as only three bestselling authors can tell it! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beatriz Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46898373099669,"sku":"9780063259867","price":59.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780063259867_da7168b2-572f-4d7a-9047-c1abbfc5873d.jpg?v=1776888272","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780063259867_the-authors-guide-to-murder-a-novel","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
