About this listen

At this mystery conference, murder is more than just another plot twist....

Nobody likes conferences, but they’re part of the job.

Millbrook House senior editor Keiran Chandler has spent years curating the best voices in crime lit, but when an unsolicited manuscript is handed to him at the Noir at the Shore mystery conference, truth collides with fiction. I Know What You Did is more than just another slush pile submission—it’s a direct threat.

U.N. Owen seems to know what really happened in Steeple Hill all those years ago. Who is Owen? How does he know these things? Clearly the mysterious author is after more than a book deal. But what?

With a potentially career-ending publishing merger on the horizon, the end of his affair with best-selling author and former homicide detective Finn Scott, and not so subtle threats from someone in his past, Keiran has a lot bigger problems than coming up with something witty to say on discussion panels.

Excellent narration of this playful dry wit drama of mature literary MCs: an editor and an ex cop, involved in the goings on in publishing, where popular JL characters from previous novels have walk on parts ie Adrien English. Traditional roles and traditional methods of work are questioned as new technology and AI are entering this world; were these factors in the authors own world?

This cosy mystery has hidden elements and back stories which cause conflict in the present providing an undercurrent of menace. This genre has become for me become somewhat tired. I didn't feel the spark between the MCs.

I wondered if this was Book 1 of a new series and when the final book in The Art of Murder series would arrive. I also wondered if it was Josh Lanyon signing off from writing, reflected in the book title and the final scenes.
