Murder on the Poet's Walk - 8 (Paperback original)

When corpses clutching poems begin turning up around Storyton Hall, resort manager Jane Steward is on the trail of someone exercising poetic license to kill . . . As Jane eagerly anticipates the wedding of her best friend Eloise Alcott, Storyton Hall is overrun with poets in town to compete for a coveted greeting card contract.

They're everywhere, scrawling verses on cocktail napkins in the reading rooms or seeking inspiration strolling the Poet's Walk, a series of trails named after famous authors.

But the Tennyson Trail leads to a grim surprise: a woman's corpse drifting in a rowboat on a lake, a crumpled copy of ';The Lady of Shallot' in her lifeless fist. When a second body is discovered, also holding a page from a poetry book, a recurring MO emerges.

Fortunately, Jane is well versed in sleuthing and won't rest until she gives the killer a taste of poetic justice . . . ';Readers will find themselves wanting to live in Storyton, no matter how many people end up dead there.'Suspense Magazine on Murder in the Locked Library
