This second book in Becky Clark's mystery writers series starts with an interesting premise, a writer's conference where anything that could possibly go wrong does go wrong.

The book starts slowly and I kept thinking about putting it aside. A plodding plot and characters I didn't much care for. However, I stuck with it and, in the end, I was glad I did.

The series shows promise and, at this point, I'll track down the first book in the series and likely will follow this one.

I'd give it a tentative recommendation. Not bad but a series that shows promise. ( )
