Christopher Holmes is attending a
writers’ conference, trying to resurrect his writing career,
when he stumbles on a dead body in the woods. The conference
takes on an eerie quality now that the news is out and
everyone is wondering who killed Peaches. Despite his
efforts, Christopher’s career is still sliding downhill and
now he’s wondering if he could be the next victim. To make
matters worse, J.X. Moriarity is attending the conference,
too. J.X. is an ex-cop turned writer. Christopher and J.X
have a little history together and it’s repeating itself.
With a murderer on the loose, they may never get the chance
to see what might have been.
Somebody Killed his Editor is a suspenseful
and witty tale. Christopher and J.X. do a good job of
tearing each other up emotionally, making their eventual
reconciliation that much sweeter. Josh Lanyon’s usual blend
of intense romantic angst and a cast of colorful characters
make Somebody Killed his Editor a real
page-turner. What makes Somebody Killed his Editor
a little different from Lanyon’s previous books is the
light-heartedness of the story. The suspense is high, but
the investigation is often a lot of fun. Christopher made me
laugh a lot. When I read a Josh Lanyon book, I prepare
myself for hot guys, a dead body or three, and an
unconventional romance. I usually cry before I get my
happily-ever-after. And I look forward to it every time! |
