Dead in an alley with a haiku spray painted above his body. The bar would be out of Camden's league and they all decide to go into town to find him. One of the group's members, Millay, tells the group that she saw him going into the bar she works at Fish Nets.

She redesigns her cottage house so that the group can meet there and on the night of the first meeting, everyone is a little upset that Camden hasn't shown up. Of course, Camden wants to hear what's going on.Īfter Camden invites Olivia to join the writer's group, she sets on a new path. It just so happens that the youngest Talbot (a rock star) and his girlfriend, Heidi St, Claire, an up and coming actress are seated in the booth behind them. Unbeknownst to the others, he's also writes a celebrity gossip blog under a pen name.Ĭamden and Olivia meet and he confides in her of his plan while they're at her restaurant The Boot Top. Ford is in town gathering information on the Talbot family so that he can write a bestseller about the secrets and scandals of this family. Frustrated, she has to end up at the counter and then eventually finds out the group is a writer's group, led by Camden Ford. On this particular day she comes into the diner and there's a group of people sitting in her booth. Usually on a daily basis she heads into town with her faithful companion, Captain Haviland, a standard poodle and spends much of the day at Grumpy's where she writes her book, a little diner dedicated to Andrew Lloyd Webber. She lives alone by the lighthouse on the outskirts of town and one has always dreamed of being a writer. Then again she owns most of the property in the small ocean town so she does get her way.

She's not the most friendliest resident of Oyster Bay and due to her wealth she thinks she can get away with whatever she wants. Olivia is the type of person people avoid. If you read the first installment of the Books By The Bay Mysteries, you'll probably come to think that the main character, Olivia Limoges is a younger version of MacLaine's character. If you've ever seen the movie Steel Magnolias then you're familiar with Shirley MacLaine's character Ouiser Boudreaux.
