Seventeen-year-old Libby Clark signs up for a writers' conference on mysteries and becomes entangled in a real-life murder mystery. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Unlike many of Wylly St. John's other books, this book is not written for children. It's target audience seems to be teenagers and young adults. This book deals with a writing conference being held at a college somewhere (the name or location is never given) and centers around a young overachiever called Libby Clark who takes one of the seminars on Mystery Writing. The first night out someone dies and our main character, along with her mentor who she suspects of being the murderer, use the techniques for writing mysteries as a way of determining the murderer. Murder She Wrote almost a decade before it's time. I think that this is easily the author's best work, because it is well structured and written, which she had a problem with in her other books, and extremely imaginative and atmospheric, which she did not have a problem with in her other books.
