Carla Karolac is doing just fine Having escaped the clutches of her controlling mother and founded a successful writing retreat in which participants are confined to windowless cells until they hit their daily word count she lives a comfortable if solitary existence If only her therapist Toonie would stop going on about Carlas nonexistent love life and start addressing her writers block she might be able to make some progress But then Carla finds Toonie murdered and suddenly her unfinished memoir is the least of her concerns Without quite knowing why she dials an old phone number Amy Gallup retired after decades as a writing instructor is surprised to hear from her former student Carla out of the blue three years since they last spoke Shes even more shocked when she finds out the reason for Carlas call Suddenly she finds herself swept up in a murder investigation that soon brings her whole old writing group back together But theyll need all the help they can get as one murder leads to another and suspicions of a serial killer mount across San Diego Full of Jincy Willetts trademark dark humor an unforgettable cast of characters and two of the most endearingly imperfect protagonists who have ever attempted to solve a murder Amy Among the Serial Killers shows us what can be gained when we begin to break down our own walls and let others insideas long as they arent murderers
