A new suspense-themed housing tract on the edge of the
Mojave Desert is about to open, and who better to help
promote the Cotswold-cozy development than mystery
biographer extraordinaire Cece Caruso? For the grand opening
weekend, Cece is staging a play featuring the beloved sleuth
Miss Marple. Of course, everything goes wrong, including a
leading lady who ends up dead.
All is not well in Christietown; its secrets are as
complicated as the truth behind Agatha Christie's real-life
disappearance. The developer, an Englishman who claims to be
Dame Agatha's descendent, has ruthless investors breathing
down his neck. Meanwhile, Cece's got a wedding to plan, a
baby shower to give, and an ex-husband who shows up on her
doorstep with his fiancée and future mother-in-law. And when
another body surfaces, the intrepid amateur sleuth knows she
must play the famed detective for real-or suffer the same
mysterious fate.
