It's a funny thing, murder.
When Mavis
Templeton-Hollister decides to kill her husband, the results are
both suspenseful and hilarious. After having to resort to more
drastic measures than originally planned, Mavis must then contend
with a runaway cat, a snoopy housekeeper, the unexpected arrival
of her stepdaughter, and a policeman who seems more than a little
familiar. The action soon spirals into a farce of hidden
identities, slamming doors, and people falling down stairs, and
an outrageous lights-out chase scene.
Fast-paced, witty, and slightly naughty, The Murder Room will
have you alternately on the edge of your seat and rolling on the
floor with laughter. Please do not reveal the secret ending to
your friends; they wouldn't believe you anyway.
