Mystery in the Title: A Novel

by Ian Ferguson, Will Ferguson

Overview

Miranda Abbott returns! A movie-of-the-week has come to film in Happy Rock and Miranda is the star, at least until her male lead turns up dead. 

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

Miranda Abbott 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 and they want Miranda back. This time to be the female lead in an oddly expensive movie of the week, filming right here in Happy Rock! Miranda signs on the dotted line, but her trusty assistant Andrew, a whiz with apps and clouds, thinks this all seems a bit fishy. When Miranda’s co-star makes a grand entrance by crashing through the atrium window at The Duchess Hotel and being very much dead, things go from bad to worse. The great citizens of Happy Rock, including Police Chief Ned Buckley, grumpy bookstore owner and soon to be ex-husband Edgar Abbott, Bea of Bea’s B&B, and the malodorous Owen McCune return to help solve the case in this second Miranda Abbott mystery.

Editorial Reviews

"This small-town cozy combines quirky characters, over-the-top situations, and fading Hollywood glamour in a winning combination."
—Booklist

"This is an awesome follow-up to I Only Read Murder, with all the fun-loving, quirky characters from the first, and lots of laugh-out-loud moments. Authors Ian and Will Ferguson know how to write fun novels. I hope this series continues for a long time."
