Synopsis

Daring resort manager Elizabeth Grady will need to think fast to bring a killer into the limelight in this charming 1950s set cozy mystery series.

Famous director Elias Theropodous has chosen Haggerman’s Catskills Resort as a shooting location for his next film. It sounds glamorous to much of the staff, but resort manager Elizabeth Grady is less satisfied. Dealing with the ridiculous demands of the antagonistic director is bad enough, and his attempts to walk all over Elizabeth are making her feel like her position at the resort has been changed into a bit part.
 
But when Elias is poisoned during a dinner at the resort, the future of the film and the resort itself are on the line. Between an aging movie star, a harried producer, and former victims of the deceased director’s wrath, Elizabeth has a full cast of suspects to examine, and she’ll need to investigate every lead to catch a killer.

This is the second book in Delany’s series set in the Catskills in the 50’s.

Goodreads review by Paula on February 17, 2024

Based at a resort in the Catskills think Dirty Dancing but no Jennifer Grey or Patrick Swayze and no hot scenes. The movie people are at the resort filming outdoor scenes and all the guests and workers are trying to watch the movie and see some actors, try to get autographs. The director is not very......more
