Write-Off - Paperback

by Leah J. Salisbury (Author)

In Write-Off, Author Leah J. Salisbury introduces us for the first time to Claire Phillips, a forty-ish businesswoman and accounting manager from a large New England city, who moves with her chronically ill husband to a small Vermont town. It is here, in Dayville, Vermont, that Claire's moral values and ethics are turned upside down with the onslaught of her predecessor's mysterious disappearance and the several subsequent murders of friends and co-workers. Claire struggles with the loss of those dearest to her, while learning the hard lesson of not knowing which friends she can really trust. Her dilemma is made even worse by having a difficult and unreasonable boss, by the demands of her job, and by the eventual threats on her own life. Salisbury's first novel leads us on a journey of intrigue and suspense as she explores the personalities and motives behind white collar crime and the several possible candidates guilty of Dayville's alarming number of murders, while weaving a tale of romance, love, and suspicion amongst the staff of a private girls' boarding school
