Description

From one of the most original writers in crime fiction comes a diabolical mystery wrapped in Hollywood tinsel. When reclusive, retired silver screen actress Barbara Lace dies in her bed, only the young widower of Cedarville suspects a crime.

Advance Praise

"Erica Wright’s Famous in Cederville is a twisty and engrossing thriller, one of those rare page-turners that you have to force yourself to slow down and savor the lyrical prose and atmospheric scenes. Full of colorful, complex characters, old Hollywood allure and aging mafia types, it’s simultaneously a portrait of a small town and an exploration of how place and the past make us who we are. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve read it.” —Daniela Petrova, author of Her Daughter’s Mother "


Famous in Cedarville has it all-- a small town rife with suspicion, a reluctant vigilante caught in a spiral of memories and obsession, mystery, murder, a hint of noir and the sparkle of Old Hollywood glamour, all told in Erica Wright's signature style of embracing the unexpected and surprising the reader with every new twist and turn.” —Steph Post, author of Miraculum, a 2019 Okra Selection
