Viola Roberts had a bad case
of writer's block and a deadline for her newest book. Not even
hanging at her favorite winery did it for her. Maybe she should lay
off historical romances and write mysteries instead, especially since
she always found herself in the middle of one. And looks like she
found herself in another one. Her friend's boss (nicknamed The Louse)
was found dead in the study. The man was arrogant, chauvinistic, and
handsy—a real menace to society he was. Nothing the Queen of
Shenanigans wouldn't get into. And guess who the police suspect? Her
friend, who was harassed by The Louse. That and she was seen having a
violent argument with the man the night he was killed. Oh no!
The writer's block was
something that I, as a writer, could relate to. “You weren't sure
which way to move or what should happen next. How to connect point D
to point J. It always happened. Every time. Every book.” (66) So
true! The best way to shake it was to do something else. In Viola's
case, that was to solve a murder.
There were some typos that
needed to be fixed, but, overall, this was a good mystery.
My rating: 4 stars
