We Know You’re Busy Writing… by Edmund Crispin

A comic meta-mystery, this story follows a crime author who receives a series of bizarre requests from students, critics, and total strangers—each more intrusive than the last. When one request hints at a real-life crime, things take an unexpected turn. The plot is light and witty, full of literary in-jokes and self-aware humor. A mystery that pokes fun at the genre while delivering clever turns. A delightful diversion for lovers of both crime and craft.
