Suspenseful, extremely witty, brilliantly written, unexpectedly hilarious, and a joy from start to finish, The Writing Class is a one-of-a-kind novel that rivals Jincy Willett’s previous masterpieces. As she dissects each student’s writing for clues, Amy must enlist the help of everyone in her class, including the murderer, to find the killer among them. Amy soon realizes that one of her students is a very sick puppy, and when a member of the class is murdered, everyone becomes a suspect. But something is very different about this class-and the clues begin with a scary phone call in the middle of the night and obscene threats instead of peer evaluations on student writing assignments. This semester’s class is full of the usual suspects: the doctor who wants to be the next Robin Cook, the overly enthusiastic repeat student, the slacker, the unassuming student with the hidden talent, the prankster, the know-it-all. Her only bright spot each week is the writing class that she teaches at the university extension. ![]() A reclusive widow, her sole companion a dour, flatulent basset hound who barely tolerates her, her daily mantra Kill Me Now, she is a loner afraid to be alone. Now her former life is gone, along with her writing career and beloved husband. Published at only twenty-two, she peaked early and found critical but not commercial success. Amy Gallup is gifted, perhaps too gifted for her own good. ![]()
