Home Sweet Homicide
by Craig RiceFrom the &“grand dame of mystery mixed with screwball comedy&”: The children of a widowed mystery writer play amateur sleuths and matchmakers (Ed Gorman, Ellery Queen Award–winning author). When your mom&’s a mystery writer, a talent for detection is only natural. So when the three children of prolific whodunit author Marion Carstairs become material witnesses in a neighborhood murder, they launch their own investigation. And why not? They know everything about baffling mysteries from reading their mother&’s books, the publicity could do wonders for her sales, and then she and a handsome detective could fall in love. It&’s too perfect for words. Marion&’s too busy wrapping up the loose ends of her latest book for the inconvenience of a real crime. But what&’s surfacing in the shadows of the house next door is not quite as predictable as fiction: accusations of racketeering, kidnapping and blackmail; a slain stripper; a grieving but slippery husband; a wily French artist; a panicky movie star; and a cop who&’s working Marion&’s last nerve. If the kids are game, Marion decides she is too—in between chapters, at least. Besides, this whole dangerous bloody mess could turn out to be a source of inspiration! This stand-alone mystery was the basis for the classic 1946 comedy starring Randolph Scott and Peggy Ann Garner and &“makes clear why Craig Rice remains one of the best writers of mystery fiction&” (Jeffery Marks, author of Who Was That Lady?).
