Description

The bestselling author of the Richard Jury novels delivers a razor-sharp and raucously funny send-up of the cutthroat world of publishing

Paul is a struggling writer navigating the treacherous landscape of editors and literary agents. When he hires the infamous Mackenzie Haack as his publisher, he's plunged into a whirlwind of chaotic decisions and questionable choices. But as Paul dives deeper into the murky waters of the book publishing business, he becomes entangled in a murder plot that threatens to unravel everything.

    A fabulous book about envy gone bad. An interesting, and well-done departure from her Richard Jury series(which I also love).

    I normally love Martha Grimes' books but this one was tedious beyond belief. Don't bother.
  • An unexpected delight!

    I got this book thinking it was a Richard Jury novel (it had showed up in a search); it is not...But it is a great read! Karl, Candy, Ned and Clive along with the rest are such great characters. An interesting peek into the publishing world, also.
