OMG! Deborah Levison, the Author of “A Novel Crime” has written a unique, creative , and captivating novel. I had to use my inhaler because I was laughing so much. I enjoyed this book, and it is certainly a ‘novel “ concept that is perfect and can only be written by such a talented author. The Genres for this well written and well plotted book are: Women’s Psychological Fiction, Mother’s and Children’s Fiction, Mystery, Thriller, Satire and Humor. This could be a book that fits the description that the pen is mightier than the sword. It’s amazing when I can think of what a “determined” and “obsessed” writer for fame could do. Deborah Levison vividly describes her dramatic, dark, and colorful characters as: flawed, unbalanced, complex, complicated, resourceful, and creative. There are secrets, danger, kidnapping, betrayals, blackmail, crimes, and murder.

One of the Female Protagonists in this story,Marcy, is divorced with an adult daughter, and is struggling to write her book. She has joined a book club, and somehow makes the acquaintance of a famous writer, Francesca, who also has a young adult daughter. When Marcy catches Francesca in a compromising position, she has the opportunity for”help on her book” . In the writer’s community, where there is tremendous competition and pressure to succeed, just how far will an aspiring author go? What “tools” of the profession can one use?

I loved everything about this novel, and I highly recommend this thought-provoking and unusual book! Happy Reading !
