Death Comes for the Critic

by Noreen Wald

In this follow-up to Ghostwriter, Richard Peter, an acerbic book critic that Americans love to hate, is literally stabbed in the back. His co-author, ghostwriter Jake O'Hara, is left ghosting for the dead and chasing down clues to a murder that hasn't seen its final chapter.

Customer Reviews

delightful mystery

I really enjoyed the second installment in the Ghostwriter series. Jake O'Hara is a fun heroine, and the numerous twists and turns in the plot will keep you guessing until the very end. I particularly like the way Jake and her mother relate to each other. Also, I enjoyed reading a mystery that has some humor and isn't all just about death.

Nice little mystery.

Lots of twists and turns along the way. Keeps you in suspense until the end. Keep up the good work Ms. Wald.

author of DREAMING YOUR REAL SELF: A PERSONAL APPROACH TO DREAM INTERPRETATIONWhat a convoluted, clever, and witty book! Noreen Wald's flair for humor and unforgettable characters is a pleasure. Readers will clamor for a return of Glory Flagg and Modesty M. Wald's spoofs of stange news events left me rolling on the floor. Wait until you get to Halloween in Greenwich Village!
