Blueprint for murder

Fred and Thea Morgan-Lane are the envy of the mystery community, the perfect partners in life and in writing. Together they coauthor the wildly successful Death Takes a Holiday series, and they’ve been invited to the Italian castle where it all began for a mystery conference celebrating their first novel, Death Takes the Castle.

Except shortly after their arrival at Castellarosa, a shocking death takes place when the wrong person drinks a cocktail meant for Thea…
