Words Can Kill (Ghostwriter Mystery 5)

by C. A. Larmer

Overview

Pack your designer luggage, we're heading to Europe for the fifth, fast-paced adventure in the popular Ghostwriter Mystery Series, WORDS CAN KILL!

This time we're on a missing person's case, and it ain't no holiday. Hunky photographer Max Farrell has vanished into thin air, last seen in the arms of a blonde floozy at a Swiss mountain resort, and his best mate, Roxy Parker, is feigning nonchalance. But when Max's flatmate shows up murdered, followed soon after by the floozy, Roxy realises Max's life is hanging in the balance, and she is his only hope.

Where is Max? Who killed his Berlin flatmate? And what the hell was he doing with that blonde floozy in the first place?!

In the latest Ghostwriter Mystery (each one a stand-alone story in itself), Roxy heads to Europe with Max's self-absorbed sister, Caroline. Together, they follow a series of tantalising clues that take them from the heights of Mt Pilatus to the azure Mediterranean Sea encountering brash German police, secretive Swiss soldiers, and an Italian Lothario with evil in his heart.

Move over Sue Grafton, C.A. Larmer's latest mystery proves yet again why she is one of the most exciting cozy mystery authors writing for contemporary women today.

WARNING: Contains some adult language and Australian slang.

Editorial Reviews

"Another excellent episode in the Ghostwriter Mystery series. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each and every book, travelling with Roxy while she solves the latest crime. Her relationship with Max is always a highlight; Caroline plays her part well and Oliver is – well, Oliver! Words Can Kill was a particularly suspenseful novel, with lots of action and angst – highly recommended." Brenda Telford @Amazon

"This is a really well balanced mystery that bounces along over middle Europe from Berlin through the Swiss alps to an intriguing conclusion in resort italy.It is a most enjoyable page turner.Roxy Parker is a totally appealing sleuth one to warm to.This is a far more enjoyable read than the heavy crime noir of male writers." Amazon Customer @Amazon

"If you haven't started this series from the first book, you don't know how much you're missing." Sharon Green @Amazon
