Coming Soon...Kit Sloane's latest mystery... The Fat Lady Sings
![]() |
In Margot and Max's latest
adventure, THE FAT LADY SINGS, things aren’t what they appear to be. But
since they work in the film world of make-believe, when are things ever
clear-cut and unambiguous? In THE FAT LADY SINGS, the couple is caught up in a lethal scheme of connivance, complicity, and murder perpetrated behind the heavy velvet curtains of a reparatory company determined to win an international prize. Heads roll as egos, reputations, and aspirations clash against the dulcet harmonies and satiric comments of a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. |

| SOME REVIEWS OF THE PREVIOUS TWO IN THE
SERIES: LOCATION LOCATION trumps its predecessors in its hip, insider vision of both the film world and a country so close to U.S. borders and yet so distant. —G. Miki Hayden, Edgar winner and author of the award-winning Writing the Mystery and the new style and composition book, The Naked Writer EXTREME CUISINE is a terrific read, complete with sexy, slightly larger-than-life characters and lots of L.A. action. LIBRARY JOURNAL Details of the restaurant business, insight into why dinner at a trendy restaurant "provides an evening of theater," and a behind-the- scenes look at filmmaking frame the story. Well-developed characters and a further developing romantic relationship between Margot and Max make for an enjoyable addition to a too-little-known series. —Sue O'Brien BOOKLIST |
