An exceptionally good mystery

I found this book in the new books section of my local library. It was is a fun, relatively quick-and-easy-to-read mystery. The characters are well-developed, interesting and engaging. The book is about the author of a murder mystery. The author has an anonymous fan who treats the author as if the author were a character in his murder mystery. The anonymous fan recreates the murders in that murder mystery, sequentially, following the murder mystery chapter by chapter. The author, both on his own and somewhat cooperating with the police, needs to find the fan before he reaches the end of the book, because the end of the book is where the character in the book's wife gets murdered. (It is hard to explain, but easy to follow. This is a fun book, not a deep, challenging book.) The setting is familiar to Dick Francis fans: horse barns and racetracks in England. This book was a lot of fun to read, and I would recommend it to a friend. Once I started reading it, it was hard to put down. I would give it five stars. Maybe four and three quarters - the ending was not the greatest, a bit predictable, not too exciting. This is a really good book, though, seriously.
