A mystery convention with five major mystery writers and one hard edged editor, have arrived in Farberville, from out of town. Claire, who hopes to make a small fortune in book sales during the convention, ends up in charge when the organizer is hospitalized. Between herding the errant authors from one place to the next and keeping track of her own teenage daughter, Claire hardly has time to rebuff the apologetic overtures of her estranged boyfriend, Lieutenant Peter Rosen. But convention chaos becomes the least of Claire's worries when a conference attendee dies under suspicious circumstances.

I really did not understand the ending at all. It was completely out of character for the character she had developed. I'm not even sure the woman could have physically done the dirty deed with the handicaps she had. I really liked it until the last few pages.

VERY GOOD
