Three novels in the acclaimed series starring an author whose itinerary often leads him to crime scenes . . .
The Festival Murders
Bryce Peabody is ready to give a talk at the annual literary festival in the pretty English town of Mold-on-Wold-until he's found dead in his hotel room. Soon, author Francis Meadowes is drawn into a role he knows only from his own fiction-that of amateur detective . . .

"[An] entertaining mystery." -Publishers Weekly
Murder Your Darlings
Francis is soaking up the sun in Italy, running a creative writing course at a villa in the Umbrian countryside. But what should have been a magical week turns sinister when a body is found in the sauna . . .
