Hooray!  Roxy Parker is back on the case in 'Dying Words'.  This latest installment of C.A. Larmer's 'Ghostwriter Mystery' series finds Roxy trying to chase down answers related to an incident 37 years prior in far off Indonesia.There is no lack of action or confounding clues in this excellent story.  Thankfully, there is also time for plenty of smile inducing 'Roxy-isms' to keep her fans happy.  Rest assured, our Roxy still loves her merlot, her snacks, her small but wonderful home, and most of all...getting to the bottom of a good mystery.  Her family and friends are also front and center, sometimes helping (and sometimes not) in her quest to find answers.We get to catch up on how things are going for her and hunky Max.As usual, I was pretty sure I had the culprit figured out about 3/4 of the way through this tale, but (also as usual) I was completely wrong.  For me, C.A. Larmer does an incredible job with red herrings and I have yet to figure out a villain in one of her stories before the final reveal.  Once again, she has created an engaging mystery that keeps you turning pages in anticipation.I loved the teaser at the end that surely indicates yet another Roxy Parker adventure is on the horizon.  I also enjoyed reading the excerpt from Larmer's 'The Agatha Christie Book Club'.  It is one I have read before and enjoyed immensely.  I am definitely going to read it again as I wait for the next Ghostwriter Mystery to be released.Well done, Ms. Larmer!
