Maggie James, an up and coming mystery writer, desires nothing more than to be involved in a real murder case. Imagine her surprise (and glee), when she finds herself trapped at a house party with a killer. Using all of her knowledge, Maggie and her best friend, Anna, set out with the help of Inspector Marcus Blake and Doctor MacGregor to solve this mystery before the killer strikes again.
2 1/2 stars. A solid, entertaining mystery. I enjoyed the friendship between Maggie and Anna. However, I found the idea of women's role in society and in work to be anachronistic.
This is a delightful and quick cozy mystery. I enjoyed every moment of it. I love the back and forth relationship between Maggie and inspector Blake! There are so many scenes that had me literally laughing out loud!
Well written with the flow of the book never slowing. The storyline and characters were believable and credit to the author who kept us guessing to the end.
