2. A Plot to Die For
In this modern homage to Agatha Christie’s Evil Under the Sun, sassy ghostwriter Roxy Parker finds herself on a remote island retreat with a collection of fabulously wealthy guests, shifty locals and biased police officers — all of whom she must rely on to help solve the mystery of who killed resort owner Abigail Lilton.
Abi has just been murdered and buried in a plot on the side of the beach — an exact replica of a macabre local burial tradition. Horrified, Roxy doesn’t know where to turn, but Abi’s daughter Helen is pointing the finger firmly in the direction of the hotel staff and guests. Each has a secret worth killing for.
As the cocktail-sipping writer attempts to piece that fatal morning together she encounters knife-wielding villagers, ghoulish local traditions and an island paradise where the ghosts of past mistakes still linger behind every coconut tree. With a cracking pace, tropical setting and eclectic cast of characters, this mystery will have you scratching your head until the final, Hercule Poirot-style conclusion.
And it will make you look twice at your fellow guests next time you take that innocent island holiday…
3. Last Writes
Gutsy ghostwriter Roxy Parker is back, and this time it’s personal.
Someone is killing best-selling authors—a science-fiction writer has been found violently slashed with an ‘X’, a gardening guru bludgeoned with his own shears, and an erotic novelist poisoned by a juicy, red apple. All the evidence points firmly at Roxy’s beloved agent, Oliver, but she’s not convinced. With the help of seductive newcomer, crime reporter David Lone, Roxy must hunt down the killer before another author meets their final sentence… Little does Roxy know, a ghostwriter is next on the hit list!
Will this be Roxy Parker’s last writes?
The third in the best-selling Ghostwriter Mystery series sees the return of brooding photographer Max Farrell (how will he handle Roxy’s new love interest?), meddling mother, Lorraine, Scottish softie Lockie, and supercop Gilda Maltin. We also meet Max’s cool sister Caroline and join Roxy on a nail-biting road trip up the north coast of Australia, the killer hot on her trail!
4. Dying Words
When a dying man utters Roxy Parker’s name with his final, gasping breath, our favorite ghostwriter is thrown into the middle of her most baffling—and brutal—murder mystery yet. Why would a guy Roxy barely knows call out her name on his deathbed? What did he give her that holds the key to his murder? And is it linked to a ghoulish burglar who is hot on Roxy’s trail?
Thus begins the fourth breathtaking adventure in the Ghostwriter Mystery series by top-selling cozy author C.A. Larmer. In this instalment, Roxy is hired by the dead man’s baffled daughter to find a missing photograph. At first glance, the portrait of six friends looks innocent enough but behind the beaming smiles hides a secret so chilling, even Roxy Parker will be swept off her high-heeled feet.
As our merlot-swilling heroine races to find the photo before the burglar beats her to it, she uncovers more than a simple happy snap—two of the people in the photo have been murdered and there are more corpses to come. But why? What secret does the image hold? And why is someone trying to silence everyone involved?
5. Words Can Kill
In her fifth and most heart-wrenching mystery yet, Ghostwriter Roxy Parker is hot on the trail of her estranged boyfriend Max. He’s disappeared from a Swiss resort, a perky blonde by his side, and his flatmate has shown up murdered in Berlin. He was bludgeoned by his own 1920’s Gibson guitar and the German police suspect Max of murder. But Roxy knows better.
Max Farrell may be a cad, but he’s no cold-blooded killer!
What’s more, he’s just sent her a cryptic text message, which proves his life is hanging by a thread and Roxy is his only hope.
At the behest of his family, Roxy packs her designer suitcase and heads to the Continent, Max’s self-absorbed sister, Caroline, by her side. Together, they must swallow their differences and follow in Max’s footsteps—from the misty heights of Mt Pilatus to the craggy shoreline of the Italian Riviera. Along the way they encounter aggressive German cops, secretive Swiss soldiers and Italian villagers who are masking dark secrets behind their friendly smiles.
6. A Note Before Dying
A NOTE BEFORE DYING is the sixth stand-alone mystery in the fun, fast-paced series featuring gutsy ghostwriter Roxy Parker.
With a battered heart and the hots for her next client, Roxy Parker heads to the Byron hinterland, to ghostwrite the life story of rock legend Jed Moody. She may be his biggest fan, but the uber sexy rocker—think Michael Hutchence meets Mick Jagger—has more than his share of enemies, so when he is zapped to death on stage while strumming his Fender Strat, the amateur sleuth can’t help looking at his so-called ‘fans’.
Was Jed Moody murdered by a jilted lover? His jealous wife? An embittered band member? Or a publicist with plenty to hide? Or is it worse than that? Is it the sexy ‘sparkie’ who’s caught Roxy’s eye, the one with the chip on his shoulder and the cute Border Collie cross?
When a sleazy photographer shows up dead soon after, it seems the electrician’s fate is sealed—‘sparkie Sam’ has the got the means, the motive, and absolutely no alibi.
