Summary

“Strap in for a hilarious and satisfying ride.” —Terry Fallis, bestselling author of Operation Angus

A once-famous TV sleuth
An amateur theater production
An onstage murder
A town full of suspects…

Miranda Abbott, once known for the crime-solving, karate-chopping church pastor she played on network television, has hit hard times. She’s facing ruin when a mysterious postcard arrives, summoning her to Happy Rock, a small town in the Pacific Northwest. But when she gets there, nothing is what she expected.

In dire straits, she signs up for an amateur production at the Happy Rock Little Theater. On opening night, one of the actors is murdered, live, in front of the audience. But no one actually saw what happened. Now everyone is under a cloud of suspicion, including the town doctor, the high school drama teacher, an oil-stained car mechanic, an elderly gentleman who may have been in the CIA—and Miranda herself.

Clearly, the only way to solve this mystery is for Miranda to summon her skills as television’s Pastor Fran. Because the show must go on!

Critic reviews

"Molly Secour's portrayal of a self-absorbed actress infuses a bit of noir into this cozy mystery.... Secour's languid voice as Miranda Abbott brings out the former celebrity's entertaining narcissism.... Secour's voices create dynamic interactions among the residents of the small town, bringing out their distrust, suspicions, and motivations on and off the stage. Fans of '70s television shows will relish Secour's narration of this cozy murder mystery." (AudioFile)
