Thanks to an elderly spinster sleuth and her ingenious cat, Christopher Holmes has enjoyed a celebrated career as a bestselling mystery writer. Until now. Sales are down and his new editor is allergic to geriatric gumshoes.

On the advice of his agent, he reinvents his fortyish, frumpy, recently dumped self into the sleek, sexy image of a literary lion, and heads for a Northern California writers conference to try and resurrect his career. A career nearly as dead as the body he stumbles over in the woods.

In a weirdly déjà vu replay of one of his own novels, he finds himself stranded in an isolated lodge full of frightened women—and not a lawman in sight. Except for J.X. Moriarity, former cop and bestselling novelist. The man with whom he shared a one-night stand—okay, maybe three—long ago. The man who wants to arrest him for murder.

A ruthless, stalking killer, or a hot, handsome ex-lover. Which poses the greater danger? It’s elementary, my dear Holmes!

4 (Muito bom)

não esperava nada e recebi o que eu estava precisando

eu amei esse livro, tem exatamente o tipo de personagem que eu gosto e um mistério não muito mirabolante, mas que no final acabei gostando.

nesse livro tudo acaba sendo um mistério, já que você não descobre de cara o que tá acontecendo na vida pessoal do próprio personagem principal, é um suspense só pra descobrir se um certo personagem é casado mesmo ou não, e cada minuto todo mundo poderia ser suspeito já que as vítimas do livro são pessoal totalmente odiaveis e raras pessoas gostavam delas.

eu não achei inovador e revolucionario porém eu gostei bastante dessa estória e com certeza já quero ler mais do christopher holmes e jx moriarity.

3.5/5
