About this ebook

Former banker turned budding romance novelist, Samantha “Sam” Monroe, is wanted in the murder of Ariella Fantini, her soon to be ex-husband’s grad assistant and lover. Once Sam proves that she is just about the only person who could not have committed the murder, Ariella's father, a mob boss on the run, makes Sam an offer she doesn't know how to refuse, help solve the murder of his daughter. Sam puts together a list of potential suspects that includes a jealous ex-boyfriend, a plagiarist who is using Ariella’s work, a former friend with designs on Rick, her soon to be ex, and Rick himself.

With the help of the chair of the English Department where Rick is an assistant professor on tenure track, Sam gets a closer look at the politics of the department. When a local news reporter with connections to a second murder becomes involved, a missing manuscript is up for grabs, and Sam’s home is ransacked and her life threatened, it becomes clear that Sam is more prey than hunter. Mr. Fantini and his ever present bodyguard, the police and Sam’s friends and family scramble to find her before she becomes the next victim.

Author

Anne Macdonald

Anne Macdonald has worked in law, banking, higher education and for herself, as a project manager, webmaster, a freelance writer and event planner. DEADLINES ARE MURDER (79,000 words) is her first book in the Sam (Samantha) Monroe mystery series. The second in the series, WEDDINGS ARE MURDER, will be released in FALL 2016 and the third, TRIALS ARE MURDER, is anticipated in early 2018. Sam Monroe is the protagonist and her unique extended family members and friends are featured in each story. Anne currently resides with her husband in a nice, quiet suburb of Boston, Massachusetts. Writing since the age of ten, her first short story was inspired by her love of history, particularly the American Revolution, her love of a good story and an active imagination. Her love of history led her to a BA and an MA in History. Her unpublished MA Thesis on Asher Benjamin, architect and builder, is held in several libraries. Her active imagination and the love of a good story has inspired her to write novels. She is continuing to work on stories set in the nineteenth century, using her family history as inspiration.
