Wildly successful chick-lit mystery writer Kimberlee Kalder is the guest of honor at an exclusive writers' conference at Dalmorton Castle in Scotland. But the fun ends when Kimberlee is found dead at the bottom of the castle's bottle dungeon. Who didn't want to see prima donna Kimberlee brutally extinguished like one of her ill-fated characters? It's up to Detective Chief Inspector St. Just to track down the true killer in a castle full of cagey mystery connoisseurs who live and breathe malicious murder and artful alibis....

What the critics say

"[In] her superior second cozy, Malliet's satirical take on the mystery scene is spot-on." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Malliet excels at stylish writing very reminiscent of the golden age of British mysteries. A real find for old-school mystery fans." ( Booklist)
"An absolutely delicious skewering of the world of mystery publishing and its none-too-savory denizens, Death and the Lit Chick is even wittier and more skillfully constructed than her Agatha Award-winning Death of a Cozy Writer." ( Denver Post)

This mystery actually feels like chick lit

In general, I detest it when detectives are love-struck to the point that their investigation is biased and that a significant part of the narration is focused on their personal feelings. I really enjoyed the first of St. Just's mysteries because he felt like a reasonably competent and impartial investigator. Unfortunately, it is no longer the case in this volume which was a bit sappy for my taste although I liked some of the character development and the parlour scene.
