After the tragic death of bestselling crime writer Annie Morrisey, her daughter, Niamh, moves into her mother's country cottage to take care of her mother’s estate. Shut away from the world, Niamh doesn't actually have to deal with the grief of her mother's untimely passing. Until the day that two things happen: the advance copy of her mother's final book lands on the doorstep and Leah Rebecca Overton appears in the kitchen.
Having a stranger show up in your house would be concerning at the best of times, but Leah isn't a stranger—she's the ultra-competent sleuth heroine from Annie’s novels. The antithesis of Niamh in every way, she's lived in the fictitious character's shadow for years. But why (and how) has Leah turned up now? And why can only Niamh see her? Leah is the last thing Niamh wants in her house or in her head, but she can't ignore the sleuth...especially when Leah suspects there may have been more to Annie's death than first suspected.

Critic Reviews
"There’s far more reality in the fiction, and it can’t be a coincidence. Is it possible that the strangely uneventful village has a lot more secrets than it’s willing to let on? Those secrets can’t remain buried forever."—Parade
"How to Kill a Crime Writer is a mystery you don’t see every day, with a fictional sidekick and an exploration of grief that makes it stand out."—Chicago Book Review
"How to Kill a Crime Writer has much to offer. For fans of cozies, the book takes place in a small English hamlet with the usual collection of wacky British neighbors. For crime readers, there’s a convention like Bouchercon and insider gossip about agents and reviewers. For pet lovers, there are cats. And for anyone dealing with grief, Niamh’s heartbreak over her mother’s loss and reluctance to move forward will ring true."—Chick Lit Central
"Cozy mystery readers will relish Niamh and Leah's prickly relationship, Niamh's first-person narration, the book's dark humor and fresh plot, and Niamh's growing confidence as she and a ghost close in on a killer."—Booklist
"Lotz’s (The Impossible Us) cozy mystery throws possible solution after possible solution at readers, but it does play fair. The fun odd-couple pairing of Leah and Niamh sets up a potential series. They’d be worth visiting again."—Library Journal
"An absorbing murder mystery with a unique twist and a poignant look at grief."—Kirkus
