" this was a prototype cozy mystery - enjoyed the characters immensely in the first 3/4ths of the book, but the end was quite extra ordinary with many twists and contrived circumstances. This book deals with a cozy mystery writer, but not an easy man to please or be with, and interactions between himself, ex-wife, current wife and his 4 children. The mystery starts when the first son is killed, and this is soon followed by father's murder. "
