Mystery in the Title (Miranda Abbott Mystery#2)

From the bestselling authors of I Only Read Murder comes a sidesplitting mystery of epic movie-of-the-week proportions, featuring the unstoppable Miranda Abbott.

Miranda Abbott, actor, will once again be a star. After a very long dry spell that followed her network hit series, Pastor Fran Investigates, Hollywood has come calling & wants Miranda back. This time, she will be the female lead in an oddly expensive movie of the week being filmed in Happy Rock. Miranda signs on the dotted line, but her trusty assistant, Andrew, a whiz with apps & clouds, thinks it all seems a bit fishy.

Things go from bad to worse when Miranda’s costar makes a grand entrance at a media-packed press conference by crashing through the atrium window at the Duchess Hotel & being very much dead. The out-of-town cast & crew are horrified, but the great citizens of Happy Rock—including police chief Ned Buckley, grumpy bookstore owner & soon-to-be ex-husband Edgar Abbott, Bea of Bea’s B&B, & the malodorous Melvin Jacobson of S.J. Fertilizer Supply—return to help solve the case in this second Miranda Abbott mystery.
