Her only bright spot each week is the writing class that she teaches at the university extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis semester's class is full of the usual suspects: the doctor who wants to be the next Robin Cook, the overly enthusiastic repeat student, the slacker, the unassuming student with the hidden talent, the prankster, the know-it-all…. Amy's seen them all before. But something is very different about this class---and the clues begin with a scary phone call in the middle of the night and obscene threats instead of peer evaluations on student writing assignments. Amy soon realizes that one of her students is a very sick puppy, and when a member of the class is murdered, everyone becomes a suspect. As she dissects each student's writing for clues, Amy must enlist the help of everyone in her class, including the murderer, to find the killer among them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuspenseful, extremely witty, brilliantly written, unexpectedly hilarious, and a joy from start to finish, \u003ci\u003eThe Writing Class\u003c\/i\u003e is a one-of-a-kind novel that rivals Jincy Willett's previous masterpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135583142128,"sku":"9781466806238","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781466806238_p0.jpg?v=1769890943","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781466806238","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
