Synopsis

In a remote country house, a writers' group turns into a workshop for a killer, from the New York Times bestselling author.

When Eve Carrington is chosen to participate in an exclusive writers' workshop, she knows it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For one month, she will live, write, and share her work with nine other aspiring authors. The top three will get a chance to be published. But when the building they're staying in isn't ready and Eve sees the old mansion they'll be moved into, she starts having second thoughts.

Not only is the mansion isolated but the deadlines are tight, the pressure intense, and the competition incredibly fierce. Her biggest rival, Angela, is writing a murder mystery based on the workshop and its participants. It's a brilliant idea. Until life begins to imitate art—and death begins to knock out the competition . . .

Goodreads review by Kendrea

Thriller that will grip you until the very end! Wicked is one of the best thrillers I have ever read. The premise is much like Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, but Joanne Fluke takes the idea to a completely different level. I won't say much more about the story because I don't want to giv......more
