** FROM THE AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR ** In the third instalment of the popular GHOSTWRITER MYSTERY SERIES, Roxy Parker is back, and this time it's personal.

Someone is killing best-selling authors—a science-fiction writer has been violently slashed with an ‘X’, a gardening guru bludgeoned with his own shears, and an erotic novelist poisoned by a juicy, red apple. All the evidence points firmly at Roxy's beloved agent, Oliver, and she's determined to prove his innocence.

With the help of a seductive newcomer, Roxy must hunt down the killer before another author meets his final sentence... Little does she know, a ghostwriter is next on the hit list! Will this be Roxy Parker's last writes?

The third mystery for our amateur sleuth sees the return of meddling mother Lorraine, supercop Gilda Maltin, and brooding photographer Max—how will he handle Roxy’s new love interest? Tag along and find out as Roxy embarks on a nail-biting road trip up the east coast of Australia, the killer hot on her trail!

In C.A. Larmer's third stand-alone mystery, you'll find enough humour, fashion and suspense to keep you on the edge of your manicured toes.

A Word of Caution About the Language This story is set in Australia so contains some slang and strong adult language. Both are an everyday part of the Aussie vernacular but the author apologises for any confusion or offence. It is not intended.

5,0 su 5 stelle Roxy Parker, ghostwriter 'down-under,' is back in this entertaining mystery!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 10 agosto 2015
Acquisto verificato
Roxy Parker is back in this fun and entertaining murder mystery, LAST WRITES. The angsty protagonist is a well-developed character faced with all the challenges of a thirty-something woman trying not only to make a living, but have a life! A ghostwriter living in Sydney, with a mother nearby who gives her plenty of advice, it's not all that easy. She's got trouble with men and money, although she's not down and out by any stretch of the imagination on either front.

When Australia's celebrated writers start dying her troubles get a whole lot worse as Roxy is swept up in the drama. Well-drawn, quirky supporting characters like Oliver her mouthy agent, add interest to the storytelling as the mystery unfolds. When a friend is implicated in the murders, Roxy is pulled deeper into the chaos and suspense. Roxy Parker takes matters into her own hands trying to figure out whodunit and clear her friend's name. All in all a satisfying mystery in a slightly exotic setting for those of us who live in the U.S. FIVE STARS

'Last Writes' is the 3rd book in the Ghostwriter Mystery Series. I was introduced to Roxy Parker in the 5th book of the same series, 'Words Can Kill' and I came back for more. You can't help but love Roxy Parker!
Larmer is a great storyteller and her plots keep you guessing and entertained right up to the very last page.
Highly recommended.

From my Goodreads account:
LAST WRITES, a Ghostwriter Mystery
by C.A. Larmer

I've become quite the fan of this series by Australian author C.A. Larmer. Full of quirky (to me, a reader from the U.S.) Australian idioms, it's become a game with me to see if I can figure out the meaning of the slang terms without having to look them up. This time around there were a couple that stopped me -- lairy for one. It evidently means flashily dressed, showy. I did have to look that one up. Bodgie was another I had to look up. At first I thought it might be a typo, and that the word dodgy might be what was meant. When I looked it up I found that it can be used to mean inferior, which fit perfectly with the context where it was seen. Also looked up were chook (slang for chicken when used as an insult to mean something foolish)and tosser (idiot or fool -- but from a term for masturbation). I feel like I get an education in the wonderful complexities of the English language with each book! None of these really stopped my progress in the book. I simply noted them and looked them up later.

In this episode, Roxy Parker gets an opportunity to write the authorized/unauthorized biography of a popular true crime writer who is represented by her literary agent, Oliver. The author, David Lone, is a handsome man who seems very interested in not only Roxy's writing skills, but Roxy herself. But before she can get started on the book, another of Oliver's writers dies under what could be mysterious circumstances. Lone, hoping to capitalize on the event, writes an article for the newspaper where he is employed suggesting that the death was murder. He jumps into the investigation with both feet and, before long, it seems he might be on to something when yet another of Oliver's writers is killed, followed closely by yet a third writer who is represented by Oliver. All the evidence seems to point to Oliver as the killer and it is up to Roxy to sort out the facts and prove Oliver innocent. But can she? And if Oliver isn't the killer, who is?

Wonderful plot, great pacing, and a great cast of characters make this book a joy to read. Proofing/editing was good, although I did find a couple of things that bothered me (those will come later). I loved that Larmer really made Roxy dig into herself on this one, trying to sort out her feelings for Max, trying to figure out the author, Lone, she was supposed to be writing about, and struggling with her loyalty to her friend/agent, Oliver, in the face of mounting evidence against him. If I liked Roxy before, I really really liked her after this episode. I loved that Larmer generously sprinkled hints and clues, many of which could be interpreted in more than one way, throughout the storyline. I liked that the reader has more than one person to suspect, and more than one reason to suspect each.

So, what didn't I like? Unfortunately, I did have a few things about which I wasn't so pleased.

At 944 (Kindle Fire first generation), Roxy is trying to relax with a glass of wine which she drinks from a "Morrocon tumbler." I think this should have been Morrocan. I did try to find "Morrocon tumbler" in an internet search, but everything that came up corrected the spelling, so unless there's a manufacturer who didn't show up in a simple search, this was a typo that should have been picked up.

At 1536, Max's sister, Caroline is described as wearing a "royal blue dress clashing with bright yellow beads..." which is described as "bold and garish and should not have worked." Really? Blue and yellow are both primary colors. They can't clash. They are in fact bold together, but garish? Certainly bright. Again, this could be a difference in language or even in just preferences from country to country.

This one was a biggie for me: gypsy-styled earrings. This is found at 2260. The word gypsy is a pejorative used for people of the Roma cultures. Although many non-Roma use the term and feel it is not derogatory, most Romany do feel it is used to disparage them. At the very least, the word should have been capitalized. One would not refer to turkish coffee -- it would be Turkish coffee. Yep. Big one for me and it lost the book a star.

I also wasn't pleased to see Larmer use a cheesy "a" before words to indicate the Italian accent of Tina's father:

"At last, a somebody understands!" he'd said in his thick Italian accent,... (found at about 2619) and this at about 2641: "oh, no, no, no. This is not a really for me. ... My memories of my Christina, they are in a here." He thumped his chest with a closed fist. "And in a here." He tapped his head with one calloused finger.

I'm not sure this, found at about 3837, is actually incorrect, but it set off my grammar alarm: They clearly didn't appreciate digital interruptions at this restaurant--although, apparently, screaming kids and flying toys was perfectly acceptable...

Again, to me, it should have been: ...apparently, screaming kids and flying toys were perfectly acceptable... I'll let some grammarian out there decide that. It was just jarring to my senses.

I had one more, but it's a spoiler -- so there will be a spoiler alert after the ending of my comments. Proceed with caution!

So, although I really, really like this novel and although I really really like Larmer's Roxy Parker, there were just too many things that I felt should have been picked up in proofing/editing for me to give the book 5 stars. Others may not be as bothered by these things. I readily admit that I can be nit-picky and that I am especially nit-picky if I like the author and the author's work. Believe me, it won't keep me from reading the next novel in the series, "Dying Words," which is next up on my Kindle carousel.

SPOILER ALERT: This last one will give away a big part of the climax of the novel, so read no further if you plan to read this book!

At 4330 on my Kindle:

"No thanks to Mr. Lone."

Ah, no, it would be ALL thanks to Mr Lone, who actually did plant the evidence that caused the police to believe Oliver was a suspect in the killings.

4,0 su 5 stelle Entertaining murder mystery.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 27 maggio 2015

An enjoyable, well-written 'whodunit', with realistic characters in a believable story, where the reader can follow the clues and solve the mystery. However, I share the reviewer Johan Booysen's dislike of swearing. I appreciate that murderers and hard-boiled reporters and detectives may swear in real life, but this is a cozy mystery so I feel that it is unnecessary. Otherwise a good entertaining murder mystery
