Secrets Typed in Blood

 

The third Pentecost and Parker book was very entertaining. 

There's a murderer on the loose who is copying stories from a popular magazine writer named Horace Bellow. Horace is a pen name for Holly Quick. Holly notices the similarities in the recent murders to her stories and goes to Pentecost and Parker to ask for their help. 

Parker is busy pretending to be a secretary named Jean in order to try to catch the fake professor from the first book, Olivia Waterhouse. So they hire a rival detective named Klinghorn to do the legwork. 

There were some good red herrings, and the final resolution was very satisfying. I really enjoyed the banter, it's so much fun.
