No one, that is, except ghostwriter and Merlot-lover Roxy Parker. She's been writing Beattie's 'autobiography' and has just stumbled on a secret that's worth killing for. With slick black hair, tortoise-shell glasses and a penchant for cheap Merlot, Roxy Parker is a sassy new female detective ... except she's not strictly a detective. Rather, she's a writer with a taste for the morbid and mysterious-and this time her little sideline may get her in way over her head ... In the first book of the Ghostwriter Mystery series, Roxy is hired to ghostwrite the life story of department store heiress Beatrice Musgrave. Beatrice has promised Roxy a secret worth writing about, but before she gets the chance to tell all, the socialite is found ripped to shreds at the bottom of a cliff. The police say it's suicide but Roxy knows better-there are too many people looking way too relieved. And so she embarks on an investigation of her own. From the posh suburbs of inner-city Sydney to remote outback Australia, Roxy finds herself lured into a web of deceit where time has healed no wounds and no one is who they appear to be. One thing, however, is crystal clear: chasing headlines can be a deadly occupation. Roxy must also act fast-there's a menacing stranger threatening her life, a handsome best friend growing increasingly impatient, and her mother is really starting to get on her nerves. Killer Twist is a fun, fast-paced adventure for anyone who loves a good cozy mystery with a little wine swilling and fashionable accessories on the side.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49608936096017,"sku":"GOR013424521","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740830757137,"sku":"NIN9780987187239","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0987187236.jpg?v=1751266353"},{"product_id":"note-before-dying-book-c-a-larmer-9780994260819","title":"A Note Before Dying","description":"A NOTE BEFORE DYING is the sixth stand-alone mystery in the fun, fast-paced series featuring gutsy ghostwriter\/amateur sleuth Roxy Parker.

Instead she stumbles upon her hotelier client, murdered and buried in a plot of sand, her head protruding ghoulishly for the crabs to devour. And around her, an ensemble cast of glamorous guests who are all hiding something behind their over-sized Gucci sunglasses. In this modern homage to Agatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun-and the second in the Ghostwriter Mystery series-sassy writer 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. Abigail's daughter, Helen, is pointing the finger firmly in the direction of the hotel staff and guests. Each has a secret worth killing for. Yet Helen's life is also in jeopardy and Roxy must solve the mystery before the death knell strikes again. As the cocktail-sipping ghostwriter attempts to piece that fatal morning together she encounters knife-wielding villagers, macabre 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740828201233,"sku":"NIN9780987187260","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780987187260.jpg?v=1763485102"},{"product_id":"without-a-word-book-c-a-larmer-9780648800903","title":"Without a Word","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53186023719185,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53186023817489,"sku":"NIN9780648800903","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780648800903.jpg?v=1772374148"},{"product_id":"last-writes-book-c-a-larmer-9780994260826","title":"Last Writes","description":"Gutsy ghostwriter Roxy Parker is back, and this time it's personal.
