Everything is finally coming together for Jane Hepburn. She has landed a new literary agent, a new book deal and maybe even has a boyfriend - she's not quite sure about that last bit. Now all she needs is to get writing.

But where Jane goes, murder always seems to follow. While on a seemingly idyllic writing retreat in Provence with her friend Natasha, the visiting author, a bestselling poet, is found dead. And Jane knows that once again it will fall to her to solve the crime...

E C Nevin is the pen name for Eve Hall, who is a fiction editor as well as a writer. Despite what The Jane Hepburn Mysteries may imply, she really does like her book industry colleagues. Most of them anyway.

Eve lives in Bristol with her husband and two dogs.
