Amy Gallup is gifted, perhaps too gifted for her own good.
Published at only twenty-two, she peaked early and found
critical but not commercial success. Now her former life is
gone, along with her writing career and beloved husband. A
reclusive widow, her sole companion a dour, flatulent basset
hound who barely tolerates her, her daily mantra Kill Me
Now, she is a loner afraid to be alone. Her only bright
spot each week is the writing class that she teaches at the
university extension.
This semester’s class is full
of the usual suspects: the doctor who wants to be the next
Robin Cook, the overly enthusiastic repeat student, the
slacker, the unassuming student with the hidden talent, the
prankster, the know-it-all…. Amy’s seen them all before. But
something is very different about this class---and the clues
begin with a scary phone call in the middle of the night and
obscene threats instead of peer evaluations on student
writing assignments. Amy soon realizes that one of her
students is a very sick puppy, and when a member of the
class is murdered, everyone becomes a suspect. As she
dissects each student’s writing for clues, Amy must enlist
the help of everyone in her class, including the murderer,
to find the killer among them.
Suspenseful,
extremely witty, brilliantly written, unexpectedly
hilarious, and a joy from start to finish, The Writing
Class is a one-of-a-kind novel that rivals Jincy
Willett’s previous masterpieces.
