KILLER ON THE FIRST PAGE Miranda Abbott, Book 3

Narrator Molly Secours' attitude is perfect for the Ferguson brothers' third tongue-in-cheek comedic whodunit. TV star Miranda Abbott and her not-so-ex-husband, Edgar, are co-owners of the Happy Rock bookstore, I Only Read Murders. They're hosting the First Annual Happy Rock Mystery Writers Festival for some of the rockstars of the mystery writing world. Secours smoothly delivers fully-formed old friends from Miranda's previous adventures, introducing new characters with equal credibility. The Fergusons' clever name-dropping and name-swapping of famous mystery-writing celebrities and their works offer lovers of the genre many inside jokes and giggles. Along with gourmet treats, flaming egos, rivalries, and jealousies, multiple murders are also on the menu. Secours' performance highlights the intelligent writing, a delightful blend of red herrings and captivating characters. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
