Known for such brilliant historical novels as \;Those Who Save Us \;and \;The Lost Family\, New York Times \;bestselling author Jenna Blum now offers a cont emporary\, \;suspenseful novel about love\, loss\, and revenge in the world of books. \;Simone &ldquo\;Sam&rdquo\; Vetiver is a mid-career n ovelist finishing a lukewarm publicity tour while facing a deadline for a new book on which she&rsquo\;s totally blocked. Recently divorced\, Sam is worrying where her life is going when she receives glowing fan mail from stratospherically successful author William Corwyn\, renowned for his fema le-centric novels. When William and Sam meet and his literary sympathy is as intense as their chemistry\, both writers think they&rsquo\;ve found Th e One. \;
\nBut as in their own novels\, things between Sam and William are not what they seem. William has multiple stalkers\, including a scarily persistent one named The Rabbit. He lives on a remote Maine isla nd\, where his writer life resembles \;The Shining. And when writers t urn up dead\, including from The Darlings support group William runs\, Sam has to ask: Is it The Rabbit&mdash\;William&rsquo\;s #1 Stalker? Another woman scorned? Can William be everything he seems?
\nNarrated by Sam \, William\, and The Rabbit\, \;Murder Your Darlings \;is a wicked ly witty look at today&rsquo\;s literary landscape and down-the-rabbit-hol e tale of how far people will go for love.
