Book Description
(3rd in Death on Demand series)
Something has poisoned a local summer stock production of Arsenic and Old Lace as cast members stab each other in the back and props are sabotaged. Worst of all, the star, an aging Hollywood beach-blanket hunk, butchers his lines - while getting top billing in bed with wives and teenage daughters around town. No wonder someone decides to draw his final curtain. A pompous prosecutor tries to pin the murder on Max, Annie Laurance's own leading man. Unless Annie can prove Max's innocence, their wedding date's off. Annie checks the greasepaint and glitter of backstage life. She'll be next to star in a knock-'em dead scene if she doesn't watch it because theatrical murderers never play fair.
"A classic play, a classic murder, a classic mystery...." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
