Manuscript for Murder

Someone's killing off Alexa Hartfield's characters almost faster than she can.

They say not to tick off an author or she'll write you into her book and kill you off. No one said anything about those annoying folks recreating the murders from her current work in progress!

Or, adding injury to murder, turning her life into a clich? in the process!

Officer Joe Friedan walks a beat on the safe streets of downtown Fairbury-except when he's patrolling the neighborhoods or (lately), investigating another murder. Another murder inspired by their resident bestselling author.

Fairbury already attracts enough tourists (it's the Mayberry vibe) and fans of (their famous but rapidly becoming infamous) author without flirting with every true-crime aficionado or serial killer groupie! He has to find this guy before Alexa becomes the next victim!

Manuscript for Murder: The first book in the Hartfield Mysteries offers a race to stop a killer and bring him to justice before anyone else dies in this contemporary mystery with (mostly) vintage fashion flair!
