Emily Arsenault’s first two novels, Broken Teaglass (“a
beautifully written, engaging mystery” —Dorothy Allison) and
In Search of the Rose Notes, received resounding critical
acclaim. With her third, Miss Me When I’m Gone, she firmly
re-establishes her standing among Laura Lippman, Tana
French, Jennifer McMahon, Megan Abbot, and the other major
players in the literary mystery game. Arsenault enthralls
with this story of what ensues in the shocking aftermath of
the sudden, violent death of the successful author of a
“honky-tonk Eat, Pray, Love,” when an old college friend of
the murdered woman comes across an unpublished
manuscript—one which could possibly lead to the writer’s
killer. A former lexicographer, English teacher, children’s
librarian, and Peace Corps volunteer, Emily Arsenault has
found her true calling as an author of twisting,
intelligent, emotional, and exceptionally compelling mystery
fiction.
