Strangled Prose: A Claire Malloy Mystery (Claire Malloy Mysteries Book 1)
By Joan Hess
She would have killed for a bestseller–but someone beat her to it…
Professor of Passion, the smutty new romance from Mildred Twiller–a.k.a. Azalea Twilight–isn’t the kind of book Claire Malloy likes to hock at her bookstore, but Claire agrees to host a book party for her friend’s trashy tale. As torrid as the novel is, it’s nothing compared to the evening. After the party, poor Mildred is found dead in her home–stranged with a tightly knotted silk scarf. Now it’s up to Clair to find Mildred’s killer, and it won’t be easy–the two-bit author had offended nearly every faculty member she worked with at nearby Faber College. But who could have hated Mildred with such smoldering passion?
Find out in Joan Hess’ first Claire Malloy mystery novel Strangled Prose.
