Manuscripts, Meows & Murder

She thought she'd turned the page on murder. But after an author takes a lethal leap, is she back at Chapter One?

Leta Parker would rather not solve another crime. Hoping to turn her gift for sleuthing into a successful fiction career, the retired American expat attends a writers retreat in Cornwall with her fiancé. But when a sardonic wordsmith lands facedown in a fatal cliff fall, the newbie novelist is horrified that the man of her dreams is the prime suspect.

Rallying the Little Old Ladies Detective Agency into action, Leta tries to resist doing the snooping herself. But with her beau's freedom on the line and a feline informant offering key clues, the feisty fifty-five-year-old is not about to leave solving the homicide to chance.

Can Leta pen a killer's last words?
