Murder at Writing Class

Norwegian title: Mord på skrivekurset

  • A cozy mystery with books, cats, and a dash of suspicion in small-town Norway
  • Engaging mystery, with all the ingredients of a feelgood mixed in

Book 3 in the Angel & Luna series!

In the deep January darkness, Engel is running a writing course in her offbeat bookshop in the small town of Halden. The local bestselling author, Fabian Svartskog, is leading the class. But on the second evening, the tutor fails to show up under mysterious circumstances – just as an icy winter settles over town.

What happened to Fabian? Has he had an accident? Fled his responsibilities? Or has someone brought his story to an end?

Before long, Engel realises she must solve the mystery and find Fabian – dead or alive. Drawn into a world of technology, literary ethics, love and betrayal, she sets out to uncover the truth. With help from her wise cat Luna, an overenthusiastic cupcake baker, her journalist boyfriend and a sister who hacks her way to answers, Engel follows the clues to the bitter end.

Murder at the Writing Course is the perfect blend of feelgood and cosy crime. It is definetely for readers who’ve devoured mysteries set in English villages and on Scottish isles – and are now ready for a Norwegian small town where murder, and a charming cat, lurk behind the bookshelves.
