Familiar or not with Josh Lanyon's writing, I think you'll love this book if you like great writing, a quirky sense of humour and an engaging mystery. I'm a huge fan of Lanyon's Adrien English series (I've just finished the 5th and latest) and I was slightly worried that this new series wouldn't live up to that one. I needn't have worried. Lanyon pulls off a very neat trick here in making the Christopher Holmes character and world similar enough to the Adrien English ones that his fans will love it, but different enough to stand alone and be intriguing in its own right.
Holmes, a writer of gentle Miss Marple-esque novels is about to be dumped by his editor. He's persuaded to go to a writers' conference being held in a remote lodge. The lodge becomes cut off by a storm, bodies begin to pile up, and Christopher can't resist investigating. Holmes is a great character with an acerbic sense of humour.
This is the sort of book that you don't want to end because you are living there happily with the characters, their world very real and engaging.
I, for one, can't wait for the next in the series.

An isolated hotel, the inhabitants trapped and cut off from civilization and a hapless mystery writer who keeps finding bodies.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first dip into a Josh Lanyon novel. I really didn't know "who done it" until the big reveal. Needless to say I guessed wrong!
Christopher "Kit" Holmes our narrator, amateur sleuth and writer of the Miss Butterwith mystery novels is witty and comical. He is also full of insecurity and having a hard time moving from jeans and flannel to designer wear and skin care. Then, you have X.J Moriarity who kind of comes across as "mad, bad and dangerous to know", the ex cop turned writer, who helps our hero and has been carrying a torch for him for quite a while.
Once I finished the book I got the next and to be honest I can't wait to read a third. Crack on Mr Lanyon!

Another fantastic Lanyon murder mystery. He's such a wonderful writer and his words transport you right to Christopher Homes side so much so that you are treading through every muddy puddle and feeling every shiver right with him.
A Lanyon 'don't miss' :)

Clever pastiche undermines credibility.
I have liked Lanyon's previous books a lot. In this one, he embarks on a new strand, his amateur sleuth being a writer of Agatha Christie-like detective thrillers. Read more
