Publisher's Summary
Thanks to an elderly spinster sleuth and her ingenious cat, Christopher Holmes has enjoyed a celebrated career as a bestselling mystery writer. Until now. Sales are down and his new editor is allergic to geriatric gumshoes. On the advice of his agent, he reinvents his fortyish, frumpy, recently dumped self into the sleek, sexy image of a literary lion, and heads for a Northern California writers conference to try and resurrect his career. A career nearly as dead as the body he stumbles over in the woods. In a weirdly déjà vu replay of one of his own novels, he finds himself stranded in an isolated lodge full of frightened women?and not a lawman in sight. Except for J.X. Moriarity, former cop and bestselling novelist. The man with whom he shared a one-night stand - okay, maybe three - long ago. The man who wants to arrest him for murder. A ruthless, stalking killer, or a hot, handsome ex-lover. Which poses the greater danger? It's elementary, my dear Holmes!

Adequate. Not enough emotion.
This one felt a little luke-warm to me. The mystery was adequate; the author tried to throw readers off of the scent, even though it was pretty obvious who the murderer was. The humour was diverting, though I didn't laugh out loud at anything, and mostly just breezed past the quips. I could deal with those things, though, and still enjoy a book.
For me, two things brought this novel down, and they overlap. One, was the romance between Christopher and J.X.. It felt stilted and unnatural, with zero emotion. I realize that there were some issues in their past, but I would have liked to see more vulnerability, and not just on Christopher's part, but J.X.'s. And honestly, I'd have loved it if there was a bit more steam. That leads me into number two. There was very little emotion (other than fear) or character development in this novel. We saw the characters superficially, but we didn't really get to know anyone. Heck, even Christopher was two-dimensional.
This was my first Lanyon novel, and at this point, I'm not entirely certain that I'll read another. Might wait a couple of months before I decide.
