Kill Your Darlings

Summary: A mystery set at a mystery writers convention
Review: This is a fun first novel. It's set at the Boucheron (the big national mystery writers convention) in Chicago in 1984. Mallory's mentor and hero is found dead in the bathtub and there are rumors flying of a newly discovered Hammett. Add in a variety of writing types, two widows of the dead man, a slimy publisher and a cute magazine editor. It's a fun, light read - not cozy cute nor noir dark. I'll read more of this series.
