"A Killer Plot - A Books by the Bay, Book 1" by Ellery Adams is a well-written cozy mystery about the members of the Bayside Book Writers club who are all working on a book and having a bit of trouble with their writing. Olivia Limoges left Oyster Bay, North Carolina mysteriously and has just as questioningly returned to her wealthy home along with her standard poodle, Captain Haviland. Not many people know much about her, but she holds the meetings in her home and bakes lovely refreshments for the members of the book club.

One enthusiastic member seems to be overjoyed with the club, but he winds up dead and with the body is left a haiku poem. Other deaths start to occur and the same thing is left somewhere near the bodies again...a haiku poem.

Olivia and her bookclub members and friends waste no time in trying to find out who the perpetrator is before one of them becomes the next victim.

I really enjoyed this book and read it very quicky. It fits nicely into the cozy subgenre of mysteries and is an enjoyable read.
