Sophie βPheeβ Kimball wants to get some work done at her private investigation company in Arizonaβand sheβs distracted already by her old crush, whoβs arriving from Minnesota to join the staff. The last thing she needs is constant updates from her mom on the local production of Agatha Christieβs βThe Mousetrap.β Practically everyone from Momβs book club and retirement community, with the possible exception of her chiweenie, Streetman, wants to join the cast and crew. But someoneβs playing the role of the killer for real.
After a much-despised cast member is found dead on a catwalk in the theater, Phee has no choice but to be drawn into all the backstabbing and backstage gossip. Especially if her drama-queen mother is right about the vaguely threatening note left on her windshield, which could mean curtains for another victim .
