Five top-notch mystery writers host a yearly writing retreat for themselves and one morning, one is found dead -- murdered. It's a remote location, and they're stuck there for a while before law enforcement comes. Each writer is trying to figure out which other writer did it, and they all use clues from the own books. I saw it as The Shining meets Clue. It was going to be a comedy. Mystery/comedy. The fun part for me would be writing blurbs about their (not always great) mystery books that they comically use as references.
