Publisher's Summary
Thanks to an elderly spinster sleuth and her ingenious cat, Christopher Holmes has enjoyed a celebrated career as a bestselling mystery writer. Until now. Sales are down and his new editor is allergic to geriatric gumshoes. On the advice of his agent, he reinvents his fortyish, frumpy, recently dumped self into the sleek, sexy image of a literary lion, and heads for a Northern California writers conference to try and resurrect his career. A career nearly as dead as the body he stumbles over in the woods. In a weirdly déjà vu replay of one of his own novels, he finds himself stranded in an isolated lodge full of frightened women?and not a lawman in sight. Except for J.X. Moriarity, former cop and bestselling novelist. The man with whom he shared a one-night stand - okay, maybe three - long ago. The man who wants to arrest him for murder. A ruthless, stalking killer, or a hot, handsome ex-lover. Which poses the greater danger? It's elementary, my dear Holmes!

A basic fun murder mystery. It's nothing wildly original but fun enough for unchallenging entertainment.
To be honest... I chose to buy this audiobook simply because Kevin R Free was the narrator. I love his voice and his brilliance at expression. He is capable of investing a lot of additional information and meaning just through this pacing and intonation, information that isn't in the words of the sentence (he is seriously good at it). However, he didn't do it so much in this book. I'm not sure if that's because the book leans heavily on stereotypes, so readers/listeners have a ton of shorthand information about them that the dialogue doesn't need to convey, or if this book was recorded before Free had developed the amazing skills he demonstrates in later book recordings.
Anyway, I certainly don't regret buying the book. It was brain candy.

I don’t know what to say...
First time I heard this story, I loved it. Giggled out loud, and adored every minute. But I listened to it again recently and the racism horrifies me. I gasped out loud at the appalling racist tropes and stereotyping applied to Rachel, Holmes’ agent. It was breathtakingly bad.
I can’t in good conscience recommend something so racist.
