Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Show Business Is Murder, the latest theme anthology presented by the Mystery Writers of America and edited by Stuart M. Kaminsky, boasts some impressive talent, including Edward D. Hoch, Annette Meyers and Mat Coward, but lacks sparkle. The 20 original stories offer something for every taste, covering all forms of show business, from vaudeville and pop music to TV and scriptwriting. Agent, Howard Morhaim. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    A Disappointment

    I could not read more than a few of these lackluster short mysteries before deciding not to waste my time. Neither mysterious nor suspenseful, some of the stories seemed to have been cobbled together for an intermediate writing seminar. I would have expected more from Edward D. Hoch, at least! I recommend you not spend your time with this - or your money.
