Elizabeth Spann Craig (Author, Publisher), Cathy Schrecongost (Narrator)

Myrtle's friend Miles recognizes the body and identifies him as Charles Clayborne... reluctantly admitting he's a cousin. Charles wasn't the sort of relative you bragged about - he was a garden variety sleaze, which is very likely why he ended up murdered. As Myrtle starts digging up dirt to nip the killings in the bud, someone's focused on scaring her off the case. Myrtle vows to find the murderer... before she's pushing up daisies, herself.

When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover discovers Naomi Pelter's dead body during a book club meeting, the other members seem shocked. But Myrtle can read between the lines. Naomi had riled everyone up by flirting with other people's husbands, arguing with neighbors, and generally making a nuisance of herself. Murdering troublemakers is the oldest trick in the book.

The book club members seem too sweet to be killers, but Myrtle knows better than to judge books by their covers. Myrtle's investigation into the murder will take a more novel approach than her police chief son's by-the-book methods. Can Myrtle and her widower sidekick uncover the killer...before he writes them off for good?

Review from AudioFile Magazine:

Narrator Judy Blue so aptly portrays each character in this Myrtle Clover mystery that it's difficult to select a favorite. North Carolina octogenarian Clover and her trusty sidekick, Miles Bradford, begin sleuthing after an unpleasant leading lady, Nandina Marshall, is killed during a performance. Clover's marvelous wit will sweep listeners along as she questions witnesses at the theater, funerals, and anywhere else she can corral them. Blue expertly presents both text and dialogue, outdoing herself with the actors' outsized egos and inability to stop acting, no matter what. Each eccentric character is droll but always believable--with drunken theater owner Mr. Tucan being especially convincing. Most rewarding is hearing about Clover and Bradford's endearing friendship and Clover's encounters with her family, especially her son, the police chief. S.G.B.
