Melinda Mullet is the author of the Whisky Business mystery series, spent many years in the legal trenches, but is now happy to be known as a former lawyer, a travel junkie, and a lifelong advocate for children's literacy causes, both domestic and international. When she is not in the UK, Melinda lives just outside Washington, DC, with her whisky-collecting husband and two wild COVID canines named Bailey and Captain Jack.
Praise for A Ghostwriter’s Guide to Murder: “A protagonist living on a houseboat on the Thames? A floating bookstore? Quirky characters and a twisty plot? Yes, please! This charming mystery has all that and more and is sure to delight mystery fans.” —Peg Cochran, USA Today bestselling author “In A Ghostwriter’s Guide to Murder, Mullet proves herself a masterful mystery-writer-within-a-mystery writer. Drawing on her insider knowledge of all things publishing, she creates a seamlessly plotted tale with characters that leap from the page. Here’s hoping that Maeve and her trusty sidekicks get many more chances to show what they can do . . . and how many bad guys they can take down while they do it!” —Tamara Berry, Edgar Award–winning author of the By the Book mysteries “When you read this cleverly constructed mystery – and you should – you will find yourself rooting for Maeve, a relatable and engaging protagonist, whose struggles as a ghostwriter will resonate with anyone trying to find their own voice in this world. You’ll also enjoy a sprinkling of nice red herrings and meet some quirky characters along the way. Recommended."" —G.M. Malliet, author of the Agatha Award–winning DCI St. Just, Augusta Hawke, and Fr. Max Tudor mysteries “A Ghostwriter’s Guide to Murder is one of those mysteries so stuffed with charm you half-wish the characters could get to potter around their lives without a crime to derail them. Here, one of London’s quirkiest “villages” is home to an enchanting band of misfits and you'd read about them no matter what. But, when trouble strikes and the action starts, it's clear that Melinda Mullet has crime-fiction instincts fully equal to her love for this setting and the found family who live there. I devoured it.” —Catriona McPherson, multi-award-winning author of the Last Ditch Motel mysteries “A really charming and authentic mystery with great, believable characters.” —Ian Moore, award-winning author of the Follet Valley mysteries “Maeve and her friends conduct a brilliant investigation from exciting start to even more exciting finish!” —Sue Minix, author of the Bookstore mystery series
