The house that inspired the book
|
Kate Morgan loves a good mystery. She’s an avid reader and
she recently finished writing a murder mystery. Her novel takes place at the
fictionalized version of Maple Ridge, the real life home of Chad Hollingsworth,
the man Kate has been dating for the past year.
Chad has invited Kate to his parents’ annual New Year’s Eve party where Kate will meet the other members of his family. On the drive to Maple Ridge, he tells her, “I have to warn you. When the Hollingsworth family gets together, there’s always a lot of drinking and drama.” He has no way of knowing there will be a murder.
In a strange twist of fate, there are numerous similarities between Kate’s manuscript and what actually happens. Kate is determined to separate fact from fiction by figuring out the identity of the killer. But she soon discovers that solving a murder in real life is a lot harder than figuring out whodunit in a mystery novel.
