The Luck of the Ghostwriter (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781943390724)

"Murders multiply, but Jake proves up to the challenge. She sees through all the subterfuge and chicanery, solving a mind-boggling mystery in a burst of insight. All the characters are charmingly kooky and fun...We will be looking for more of Jake O'Hara." - TheMysteryReader.com "[Wald] writes with a light touch." - New York Daily News "The author keeps the plot airy and the characters outlandish." - South Florida Sun-Sentinel Jake O'Hara and her colleagues are looking forward to a complimentary weekend in Manhattan's swanky Plaza Hotel, the venue for the Greater New York Crime Writers' Conference. The conference kicks off on St. Patrick's Day, making the atmosphere a bit more festive-and chaotic-than usual. But things get way out of hand when Senator-turned-writer Charlie Fione and actress-turned-writer Holly Halligan partake of some green beer-that leaves them permanently green around the gills. Now Jake's Irish eyes are far from smiling as she delves into a mystery and tries to rewrite a murderer's plot-as only New York City's finest ghostwriter can... Related subjects include: women sleuths, humorous murder mysteries, cozy mysteries, murder mysteries, whodunit mysteries (whodunnit), book club recommendations, amateur sleuth books.
