E. C. Nevin - A Killer Plot

After unmasking the killer of her literary agent in A Novel Murder, author Jane Hepburn seems to have returned to a quieter life in A Killer Plot, attempting to complete her next novel, despite struggling with writer’s block. But the burst of internet fame which resulted from her successful bout of sleuthing has got her onto the guest list of a book launch at which she’ll be brushing shoulders with the stars of the publishing world. Jane’s looking forward to an evening drinking wine and eating canapés with her friends, debut author Natasha and agent intern Daniel, but once again she’s fated to stumble across a body, this time that of an editor’s assistant, in the bookshop where the launch is taking place.

Chaos ensues as the police get involved, and things grow more complicated when the assistant’s boss also shows up dead. Jane, Natasha and Daniel must put their crime-solving skills into action to ensure no one else falls victim to the dangerous assassin stalking the publishing world.

E.C. Nevin was an editorial director and crime and thriller editor at a major UK publisher. Her first foray into crime fiction, A Novel Murder, was described by author Jennie Godfrey as “funny, sharply observed and fiendishly clever.”
