MYSTERY WOMAN 3: SING ME A MURDER

A bookshop owner and moonlighting sleuth become embroiled in a scandal when murder threatens the charitable tour of a once-famous singing trio…

Mystery bookshop owner Samantha Kinsey knows that it’s going to take more than an Agatha Christie first edition to bring her partner Philby (Clarence Williams III, The Mod Sqaud)out of mourning following the death of his former CIA colleague. What does the trick is news that Philby’s idols, the once-famous folk/rock trio, Steven, Dan, and Carly, are coming to town to play a charity benefit. Samantha graciously offers her bookstore as an ideally cozy venue for the trio to recapture their intimate coffeehouse glory days. An ecstatic Philby ensconces them and their promoter Jason Hurd in a quaint Bed & Breakfast, and while Carly and her now-husband, Dan, seem a faint shadow of their former selves, this little show could be just the trick to put them back on top after thirty years in relative obscurity. But surely there are better ways to make headlines than murder…

Dan has discovered Hurd stabbed to death in his room. So far, the only clues to go on are the two strangers in town who were looking for the luckless promoter. Until Philby uses his CIA connections to uncover more—like the identity of one of the men, a seedy record producer who’s generated nothing but suspicion in the music business, and some confidential information about the trio’s past. But when Carly’s own hostility toward Hurd surfaces, so does a secret that has plagued her with guilt for years. It’s time for Samantha to proceed with an investigation of her own—one that yields some deadly surprises about private indiscretions, professional greed, and personal vengeance that’s going to put a whole new spin on fame and fortune, and bring all-new meaning to a Top Ten hit.

Murder is something to sing about when Mystery Woman Samantha Kinsey—an expert in pulp fiction, and increasingly proficient when it comes to real-life crime—untangles a record-breaking murder.
