A captivating mystery with a thread of darkness, Death Writes Itself offers intriguing plot lines with likable, and equally despicable, characters.
Blessed with her favorite aunt's pearls of wisdom-and her sizable estate after her death-Phoebe is a librarian and aspiring murder mystery author in the small coastal town of St. Samuel, Georgia.
Joe is a detective who works with his best friend, Terry, on the St. Samuel police force and is dealing with the mysterious disappearance of his wife, Diane.
While Phoebe struggles to create characters and a viable plot, Joe is hunting a real-life serial killer who is attacking single women when they are most vulnerable and leaving a distinct calling card at every crime scene.
Despite her desire to write a novel about a serial killer, Phoebe has an aversion to watching or reading the news, which keeps her blissfully unaware of the murders happening in her own town.
Several quirky townspeople stand out as suspects, both in Phoebe's mind as potential characters in her book, and in the actual murders Joe is trying to solve. But the whodunit, and how Joe and Phoebe's lives intertwine, remain to be seen.
