Sophie Rivers attends a writing course where death turns out to be more reality than fiction…

Lecturer Sophie Rivers’ writing course on the outskirts of Birmingham is far from an exotic holiday. Still, creative inspiration might strike. But then, knowing Sophie’s luck, so might a murderer…

She can hardly believe it when, soon after the course begins, a fellow student is found dead in her room. Sophie hadn’t liked glamorous nymphomaniac Nyree much, but she hadn’t deserved to die. And when a course tutor goes missing, it’s clear that one of Sophie’s fellow students might be interested in death as a reality rather than a literary concept.
