Amy Gallup – serie

Carla Karolac is doing just fine. Having escaped the clutches of her controlling mother and founded a successful writing retreat in which participants are confined to windowless cells until they hit their daily word count, she lives a comfortable, if solitary, life. If only her therapist and retreat participant, Toonie, would stop going on about Carla's non-existent love life and start addressing her writer’s block, she might be able to get somewhere. But then Toonie is found murdered in her own cell, suddenly Carla’s memoir is the least of her concerns. Without quite knowing why, she dials an old phone number.Amy Gallup, retired after decades as a writing instructor, is surprised to hear from her former student Carla out of the blue, three years since they last spoke. She’s even more shocked when she finds out the reason for Carla's call. Suddenly, she finds herself swept up in a murder investigation that soon brings her whole old writing group back together. But they’ll need all the help they can get, as one murder leads to another, and suspicions of a serial killer mount across San Diego.Full of Jincy Willett’s trademark dark humour, an unforgettable cast of characters, and two of the most endearingly imperfect protagonists who have ever attempted to solve a murder, Amy Among the Serial Killers shows us what can be gained when we begin to break down our own walls and let others into our lives…as long as they aren’t murderers.
