Murder Comes to the Stillpoint

Death in a Fair Place
Death in a Fair Place by W. L. Taylor

Stillpoint Digital Press announces the publication of its first murder mystery, Death in a Fair Place by W. L. Taylor.

Set on the idyllic campus of a glossy prep school in Northern California, this fast-moving detective novel involves intrigue, scandal, and, of course, murder most foul — right on school grounds. When the head of the prestigious Pemberley Oaks School is found dead in the school’s memorial redwood grove, the list of suspects includes just about everyone with a connection to the school — faculty, staff, parents, and teachers. It is up to Detective Bill Felkin to dig past the privileged, sophisticated veneer and discover the truth.

Taylor, who worked in independent schools for many years, says about completing his first novel, “Being a fan of murder mysteries, the idea came to me to write a detective story that takes place on a private school campus. After I came up with the germ of the idea for the book seven years ago, I paid attention to the old adage — write about what you know — and that provided me with a wealth of material.”

Death in a Fair Place is now on sale at StillpointDigital.com, as well as Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and most other ebook outlets.
