[Preorder - eBook] Murder In The Afternoon: A Steamy Small Town Murder Mystery (Mystery, She Wrote Book 5)

When fiction meets reality, a detective and her basset hound write their most dangerous story.

Christie Crofton left the bustling city and her detective badge behind for the calm of Penbrooke, Maine and the world of mystery writing. Yet, when the lines between her fiction and reality blur, she realizes that Penbrooke has mysteries of its own. Beneath its calm exterior lies a web of secrets, old grudges, and tales that are eerily familiar to Christie's fictional stories.

Bryson Moss uses his investigative reporting skills to write very successful legal thrillers. Years before they had a brief but intense affair that ended with them remaining friends. When a dead body shows up and the local precinct doesn’t take Christie’s theories seriously, they join forces.

With Sherlock, her trusty basset hound, and Bryson by her side, Christie finds herself drawn into a real-life murder mystery, proving that some stories are too compelling to remain on the page.

Murder in the Afternoon is a book in the Mystery, She Wrote series. Four mystery authors meet at a book conference and discover they all live in small towns in Maine. After a fabulous weekend together they decide to form the Mystery Writer’s Murder Club. They meet monthly at a different house to check out cold cases in the area, write, and relax. They soon discover the only thing more exciting than a good murder mystery book is an actual murder mystery.
