Book of Interest: The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

Okay, The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter is turning into the most sought after book. I have been to three different bookstores and the book has been sold out. I'm going to a bookstore later today to see if if it's there, if not then I'll have to order it.

The premise for this romantic, comedy, mystery follows two authors trying to solve the mystery of their missing host, the mystery writer, Eleanor Ashley. And working together just might draw them closer for a little romance. I love a good mystery and a holiday one at that. I have to get this.


Book: The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter

Description:

Knives Out gets a holiday rom-com twist in this rivals-to-lovers romance-mystery from New York Times bestselling author Ally Carter.

The bridge is out. The phones are down. And the most famous mystery writer in the world just disappeared out of a locked room two days before Christmas.

Meet Maggie Chase and Ethan Wyatt:

She’s the new Queen of the Cozy Mystery.

He’s Mr. Big-time Thriller Guy.

She hates his guts.

He thinks her name is Marcie (no matter how many times she’s told him otherwise.)

But when they both accept a cryptic invitation to attend a Christmas house party at the English estate of a reclusive fan, neither is expecting their host to be the most powerful author in the world: Eleanor Ashley, the Duchess of Death herself.

That night, the weather turns, and the next morning Eleanor is gone.

She vanished from a locked room, and Maggie has to wonder: Is Eleanor in danger? Or is it all some kind of test? Is Ethan the competition? Or is he the only person in that snowbound mansion she can trust?

As the snow gets deeper and the stakes get higher, every clue will bring Maggie and Ethan closer to the truth—and each other. Because, this Christmas, these two rivals are going to have to become allies (and maybe more) if they have any hope of saving Eleanor.

Assuming they don’t kill each other first.

The laugh out loud holiday "romystery" that you've been waiting for!
