But where is Max? Why is everyone around him being killed? And can Roxy solve the mystery of his disappearance before he vanishes for good?In the latest Ghostwriter Mystery, author C.A. Larmer proves yet again why she's one of Australia's most popular and well-read crime writers. Fasten your seatbelts and come along for the ride!A Word of Caution About the LanguageThis story is partly set in Australia so you may come across some unusual colloquialisms and cursing. Both are an everyday part of our vernacular but I apologise for any confusion or offence; it is not intended. Christina (C.A.) Larmer tried writing a romance at the age of 13 but pretty soon she'd slaughtered the hero and planted it on the heroine. It was the beginning of a beautiful love affair that has now resulted in four crime series, including the Murder Mystery Book Club, the Sleuths of Last Resort, the Ghostwriter mysteries, the Posthumous Mystery series, a domestic suspense novel, and a stand-alone mystery masquerading as a family saga (she's fooling nobody).Born and bred in Papua New Guinea, Christina has lived and worked around the world from New York and Los Angeles to London and Sydney. A journalist, editor, teacher and mentor, she now runs an indie publishing business from the east coast of Australia, where she lives with her musician husband, two sons, a devilish 'Bluey' and countless koalas and snakes, none of which come close to the villains in her books. Well, maybe just the Bluey...Sign up for news, views, discounts and giveaways: calarmer.comGet in touch: christina@calarmer.com As a professional ghostwriter, Roxy Parker digs deep into other people's lives to tell their stories for them.
