Who knew being a writer for hire could be so dramatic? Join Veronica in her fourth adventure as writer-turned sleuth! When writer for hire Veronica Blackstone is asked to write the copy for The Friends of Hyde Park' s annual house and garden tour, she never expects to get involved in a violent death. But that' s exactly what happens when famous author, Landon Donte, is found dead in his study during a dinner to highlight the tour. With his career on the wane, and apparently having deleted his last manuscript, it looks as though Landon committed suicide. But Veronica isn' t so sure. She discovers that left-handed Landon was killed by someone right-handed and becomes convinced someone murdered him. It' s true that Landon had many enemies, from his rival and neighbour, bestselling romance author, RL Lincoln, to his put-upon assistant Brad and even his own daughter! But are any of them capable of murder? Veronica is determined to uncover the truth!
