In the small coastal town of Oyster Bay, North Carolina, you'll find plenty of characters, ne'er-do-wells, and even a few celebs trying to duck the paparazzi. But when murder joins this curious community, the Bayside Book Writers are there to get the story... Olivia Limoges is the subject of constant gossip. Ever since she came back to town-a return as mysterious as her departure-Olivia has kept to herself, her dog, and her unfinished novel. With a little cajoling from the eminently charming writer Camden Ford, she agrees to join the Bayside Book Writers, break her writer's block, and even make a few friends... But when townspeople start turning up dead with haiku poems left by the bodies, anyone with a flair for language is suddenly suspect. And it's up to Olivia to catch the killer before she meets her own surprise ending.Watch a Video

"Although I liked the setting well enough (which is why it earned two stars from me rather than one), I found the main character very unlikable. I understand that she's supposed to be a "flawed heroine" but even so, I can't bring myself to like her well enough to care what happens next and whether she works out her flaws. I found it difficult to believe that she actually had friends when she never really showed any reason in the first few chapters that anyone would want to be her friend. And once again, it was a mystery that had to be explained after it's conclusion--which I can't really go into without spoilers, I don't think, so I won't. I doubt I'll be reading any further in the series."
