Hannah & Kiki #2
Date with the Perfect Dead Man
Hill Creek Babylon
Marin County is getting ready for its close-up. As the annual Hill Creek Film Festival begins, Hannah and Kiki, sisters of a certain age, are itching to rub elbows with the stars (strictly B, but still Hollywood). The main attraction? Flamboyant, womanizing semi-legend Frederick Casey, a little faded around the edges, but still loaded with enough wattage to turn a woman’s head. How dreadful that his secret tryst with man-crazy Kiki turns out to be such a heart stopper. And to fade out in such a compromising position—wearing little more than a smile! But when digoxin is discovered in the old trouper’s flask, a celluloid tragedy quickly dissolves into a shocking tale of true crime—with Kiki in the starring role as Number One Suspect…

Interesting characters, plots, and puzzling enough to keep you guessing. The two sisters in this story were very entertaining.

"Humerous and diverting" perfectly describes this series. Well written, clever plotting, and an ongoing cast of characters that never cease to amuse with their various foibles and rivalries. Great dog days read!

Just a little too much for me. It was sort of like Murder she wrote on steroids with all that fluff and little substance. At least Jessica Fletcher acts her age!
