"Killer On A Hot Tin Roof" is one of a series of "Delilah Dickenson Literary Tour" mysteries by Livia J. Washburn. Delilah runs a literary travel agency and the latest tour is off to New Orleans for the annual Tennessee Williams Literary Festival. Delilah seems to have her hands full with this group -- trying to keep them all happy and out of trouble. When one professor brings along a man who claims he is the one time lover of Tennessee Williams as well as the real author of "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof," sparks fly and murder brings out the worst in everyone.
I found the book a light summer read but despite the fact I didn't figure out who the murderer was until about the time Delilah uncovered him, it wasn't the type of mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat not wanting to put the book down. However it had some memorable lines:
"I can show you the places where my pen slipped into the scars and irregularities of the wood and it left marks on the paper...just like our lives slip into the scars and irregularities of the world and it leaves marks on our hearts."
"Sometimes I think if is one of the most useless words in the English language, because most of the time it's just pointing out where you went wrong and there's not a blasted thing you can do to change it. All you can do is keep going forward and hope for the best."
