This book was advertised as being a cross between Miss Marple and Murder She Wrote. Well, our genteel Jessica Fletcher would never countenance such smutty talk, even if it is meant to be humorous. Otherwise, this is a mix of oh those romantic Scots, three wacky women writers, and no one ever willing to give a straight answer about the murder of an unikeable writer cad. It had its moments though.

I so enjoy Sam Clair's messy life. Her mother is a gem of a character, too. Be alert for early clues, then enjoy the ride. The publishing world, artwork with its copyright issues, fascinated me.

Noor is moved to a small Midwest town for the last few months of high school, where her upbringing leads her to question and then resist the banning of books there. There is a bit of "Sixteen Candles" for Gen-Z with two very different boys interested in her, and a sensitive look at fitting in, in a new environment.
