Murder in an unlikely setting

A murder mystery at a teacher conference is not a likely scenario. A Talent forMurder by Peter Swanson is a psychological thriller that goes into the complexities of trust, betrayal, and the dark side of human relationships.

Josie meets a tragic end. Martha Ratliff, a newlywed librarian whose husband, Alan, is at the same conference, is indifferent to the tragedy at first, but when she discovers blood on Alan’s shirt, her curiosity leads her to dig deeper. She reaches out to an old friend, Lily Kitner, who had previously helped her escape an abusive relationship.

Lily’s involvement takes the story in a new direction, as she tracks Alan at another conference but is sidetracked with the appearance of Ethan Saltz, Martha’s abusive ex. The second half of the book shifts focus to the cat-and-mouse game, as Lily tries to pin the murder on Ethan, who she is sure is guilty.
