Synopsis
Amateur sleuth Steve Allen and his lovely, vivacious wife, Jayne Meadows, are back to solve another murder mystery. This time, the setting is their own home town -- Hollywood -- and their own line of work -- show biz.Aging, cigar-smoking Benny Hartman, veteran of stage, screen, and vaudeville, has a dying wish -- that Steve will emcee a Comedy Award ceremony in his posthumous honor. The town is abuzz with the question: who will get the award? But when Benny dies, and the crowds turn out for his funeral, comedy turns to murder -- and mayhem. Slapstick king Terry Parker is found stabbed behind a mausoleum, a final, mysterious word on his lips: Ham.Which one of Steve and Jayne's cronies could have done it? Hartman's floozie widow? Or perhaps his long-time rival for the comedy spotlight? Before Steve and Jayne can start eliminating suspects, another body turns up, face down in a swimming pool. Now, Steve must call upon his longtime talent for perfect timing. Because if he makes one false move, he could be the next victim...and a coldblooded killer could get the last laugh., TV's Renaissance man Steve Allen is back on the boards, once again playing host to an all-star comedy line-up. The funeral for Benny Whipple, the 93-year-old veteran of vaudeville, radio, stage, and screen, has attracted every comedy superstar in Hollywood. But just as Benny is being laid to rest, Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows discover slapstick king Terry Parker stabbed in the back in a mausoleum.

    This was part of a 2 book purchase and the seller wrapped both books very well. Since both books were ordered at the same time with different offers on them, the seller combined the shipping and re-embursed me part of the shipping. They came in quicker than expected and better than described. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

    Book was exactly as described. Professionally packaged and protected. Seller accepted offer and provided good value for money. Shipping took a little long but that's what you get with low shipping cost, not the sellers fault. As off 02/25 I would buy a book from this seller again.
