Writing in a Nutshell,

authoritative and concise.
. . . After all these
years, I still learned a few things myself from these pages. I’m sure you will
too.” —from the Foreword by Edward D. Hoch

A trench coat and a fedora don’t make a detective, and Connie Garrett couldn’t
agree more. She’s the co-founder of "Murder for Hire," an acting troupe that
specializes in spoofing, not sleuthing. But when MFH performs at a sleepy
coastal community’s mystery gala celebrating the life and works of a famous
hard-boiled mystery author and the bodies start stacking up, Connie finds
herself on the case whether she likes it or not. She becomes unwillingly
committed to solving the murders while trying to keep both the show—and her love
life—afloat. M U R D E R F O
