Product Description
Sophie can hardly believe it when a fellow classmate is found dead in her room. Glamorous Nyree hadn't done much to endear herself to Sophie but she didn't deserve to meet such an unfortunate end. This is the second Birmingham crime mystery featuring lecturer and amateur singer Sophie Rivers.

Whodunnit? Judith Cutler's done it again!
7 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
Birmingham England is the city where Judith Cutler lives and writes and Birmingham is the venue for her crime novels. You can almost smell the sweat and grime of England's second largest city as the action hurries along the streets.
In Dying To Write, her heroine Sophie Rivers (lecturer by profession and sleuth by obligation) finds herself once again in the middle of the action sticking her nose into another murder case, upsetting the local police and falling foul of the baddies. Plot twists, red herrings and a final resolution that will have you panting with relief, this is crime fiction at its best.
And Judith should know as the secretary of the British crime writers association! Judith writes compelling fiction that just demands to be read. I have never read any of her books in over forty eight hours as I simply cannot put them down. Buy, sit down and enjoy a fast paced, page turning ride through a murder mystery. You won't be disappointed!
Second in the Sophie Rivers Amateur Sleuth Series
6 May 2012
Format:Audio Cassette
Sophie Rivers, a lecturer in English at a run down college, finds herself on a residential writing course won in a raffle. Arriving at Eyre House she discovers a mixed bag of students including a middle aged surgeon, three older women, a young rather unpleasant man who is writing a screenplay, and a sexually aggressive but quite well off woman.
From the beginning it seems unlikely that this ill assorted is going to coalesce into a good working group. This is quickly borne out with the death of one of the students. At first it looks like an accident, but Sophie has a feel that there is more to the death than appears on the surface.
Then unexpectedly, one of the tutors disappears leaving behind all of her computer equipment and clothes as well as her rat, Sidney.
At times spritely, at other times tense, this book does not have the same amount of action as the first in the series, but Sophie's hapless love life and the personal lives of her companions are interesting.
I'm not sure that I quite believed the motives for the crimes but its a fair read.
This book follows Dying Fall precedes Dying on Principle.
