Death and the Lit Chick by G.M. Malliet

4.0

Okay, a group of mystery writers from both Great Britain and the United States are housed in a castle in Scotland--all expenses paid, I might add--during a writing festival. Please raise your hand if you think one of them is going to get killed. Very good. And I didn't even mention that Chief Deputy Inspector St. Just is also in residence. This book is both a homage to the golden age of mysteries and a skewering of modern mystery writers and publishing. Loved the stereotypes, loved the in-jokes, loved the "dark and stormy night" when the murder occured, the lights went out, and the drawbridge stayed up. A very entertaining read.
