Synopsis

“Strap in for a hilarious and satisfying ride.” —Terry Fallis, bestselling author of Operation Angus

A once-famous TV sleuth
An amateur theater production
An onstage murder
A town full of suspects…

Miranda Abbott, once known for the crime-solving, karate-chopping church pastor she played on network television, has hit hard times. She’s facing ruin when a mysterious postcard arrives, summoning her to Happy Rock, a small town in the Pacific Northwest. But when she gets there, nothing is what she expected.

In dire straits, she signs up for an amateur production at the Happy Rock Little Theater. On opening night, one of the actors is murdered, live, in front of the audience. But no one actually saw what happened. Now everyone is under a cloud of suspicion, including the town doctor, the high school drama teacher, an oil-stained car mechanic, an elderly gentleman who may have been in the CIA—and Miranda herself.

Clearly, the only way to solve this mystery is for Miranda to summon her skills as television’s Pastor Fran. Because the show must go on!

This book got me over a book slump so for that, I am grateful. I didn't want to put it down and it took me longer than usual to read it as sickness was roaming my home and I was the resident medicine administrator, homemade chicken soup maker and all around caretaker for my family for a bit over a w......more

4.5/5 I am officially obsessed with Ian and Will Ferguson as a writing duo, and no one is going to tell me otherwise. I Only Read Murder was such an incredibly fun read and Miranda Abbott might be the most over-the-top character I have ever read about, but I loved her dearly. This book takes amateur......more

Goodreads review by Sarnfield on August 13, 2023

Like reading a bad episode of Murder, She Wrote. Clearly my sense of humour did not align with this book or with the reviewers who declared that it was “wickedly funny” and that it would have me “laughing out loud on every page.” Don’t think I even cracked a smile. I get that it was (hopefully) supp......more
