Death of an Editor
by Lesley Grant-Adamson

An utterly gripping cozy crime mystery full of secrets, scandal and unexpected twists.

Meet Rain Morgan, newspaper gossip columnist by profession, amateur sleuth by chance.

Hal MacQuillan, proprietor of the Daily Post, was brutally stabbed in the back with a kitchen knife. No one mourned. People wished him dead.

In the short time he’d been owner, MacQuillan had driven the Daily Post into the gutter. Jobs were no longer safe. Still, Rain Morgan did not plan on starting her day finding her boss murdered in his office.

Death threats originating from the newsroom are discovered by the police. But, with so many suspects, finding MacQuillan’s killer amongst vengeful staff is difficult. Everyone hated him. But who hated him enough to kill?

Then a carving knife, similar to the murder weapon, is pulled from an employee’s pond. Suspicion falls on Simon Linley, Deputy Editor and most likely to profit from MacQuillan’s death.

Rain, and her colleagues, receive anonymous parcels containing more knives — this killer has unfinished business.

Now it’s not only Rain’s job that’s unsafe. She must find the killer before it’s not just MacQuillan’s obituary being written. . .

Fans of M.C. Beaton’s Agatha Raisin, Richard Osman, Faith Martin, Marty Wingate, Merryn Allingham, Liz Fielding and Richard Coles will love this gripping cozy crime series.
