Sobre aquest llibre

Retiree Ivy Beasley, a college student? Interested in penning her memoirs, Ivy decides to take a creative writing course. But it’s hard to find time to put pen to paper when this current chapter is so full of lies, jealousy and murder…

Ivy’s new classes are very close to the widow’s farmhouse, perfect for combining studying and snooping…
