Pretty as a Picture

A mystery novel that zips along at the same pace as your favorite Netflix binge. Marissa Dahl, film editor and accidental detective by circumstances, will steal your heart. Her coworkers are zany, and she finds some assistant sleuths along the way. There is a murder to be solved–and it’s done with fast-paced dialogue full of one-liners. Think a mash-up of Knives Out and Robert Altman’s The Player with a little Agatha Christie mixed in. There’s also a podcast narrative that serves as a modern-day Greek chorus. Someone option this for a movie or Netflix series!
